[6]
quod hic potest, nos possemus? quodsi quando
apud principem aliumve, cui utrum velit liceat,
dicendum erit, dignum quidem morte eum, pro quo
loquemur, clementi tamen servandum esse vel talem,
primum omnium non erit res nobis cum adversario
sed cum iudice, deinde forma deliberativae magis
materiae quam iudicialis utemur. suadebimus enim
ut laudem humanitatis potius quam voluptatem ultionis concupiscat.
Quintilian. With An English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1921.
