Ad nosmet ipsos iam revertor,
quoniam sic fuimus semper comparati, ut hominum sermonibus
quasi in aliquod contentionis iudicium vocaremur.
Quid tam dissimile quam ego in dicendo et Antonius? cum
ille is sit orator, ut nihil eo possit esse praestantius, ego
autem, quamquam memet mei paenitet, cum hoc maxime
tamen in comparatione coniungar. Videtisne, genus hoc
quod sit Antoni? Forte, vehemens, commotum in agendo,
praemunitum et ex omni parte causae saeptum, acre, acutum,
enucleatum, in sua quaque re commorans, honeste cedens,
acriter insequens, terrens, supplicans, summa orationis varietate,
nulla nostrarum aurium satietate.
M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica. M. Tullius Cicero. A. S. Wilkins. 1902.
