[131]
nec vero miseratione solum mens iudicum permovenda est
—qua nos ita dolenter uti solemus ut puerum infantem in
manibus perorantes tenuerimus, ut alia in causa excitato reo
nobili, sublato etiam filio parvo, plangore et lamentatione
complerimus1 forum—, sed est faciendum etiam ut irascatur
iudex mitigetur, invideat faveat, contemnat admiretur,
oderit diligat, cupiat fastidiat2, speret metuat, laetetur doleat;
qua in varietate duriorum accusatio suppeditabit
exempla, mitiorum defensiones meae.
M. Tullius Cicero. M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica, Tomus II. A. S. Wilkins. Oxonii. e Typographeo Clarendoniano. 1911. Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis.
