sermo hercule
familiaris et cotidianus non cohaerebit, si verba inter
nos aucupabimur; denique imperium domesticum nullum
erit, si servolis hoc nostris concesserimus ut ad verba nobis
oboediant, non ad id quod ex verbis intellegi possit obtemperent.
exemplis nunc uti videlicet mihi necesse est harum
rerum omnium; non occurrit uni cuique vestrum aliud alii
in omni genere exemplum quod testimonio sit non ex verbis
aptum pendere ius; sed verba servire hominum consiliis et
auctoritatibus.
