nolo haec tam minuta constructio appareat; sed tamen
stilus exercitatus efficiet facile formulam1 componendi. Nam
ut in legendo oculus sic animus in dicendo prospiciet quid
sequatur, ne extremorum verborum cum insequentibus
primis concursus aut hiulcas voces efficiat aut asperas.
Quamvis enim suaves gravesque sententiae tamen, si incondite2
positis verbis efferuntur, offendent auris, quarum
est iudicium superbissimum. Quod quidem Latina lingua
sic observat, nemo ut tam rusticus sit qui3 vocalis nolit
coniungere.
