[19]
Sed mihi naturam intuenti nemo non vir spadone
formosior erit, nec tam aversa unquam videbitur ab
opere suo providentia, ut debilitas inter optima inventa sit, nec id ferro speciosum fieri putabo, quod,
si nasceretur, monstrum erat. libidinem iuvet ipsum effeminati sexus mendacium, numquam tamen
hoc continget malis moribus regnum ut, si qua
pretiosa fecit, fecerit et bona.
Quintilian. With An English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1921.
