[19]
Haec dicuntur fortasse ieiunius; sunt enim quasi
prima elementa naturae, quibus ubertas orationis adhiberi vix potest, nec equidem eam cogito consectari.
verum tamen cum de rebus grandioribus dicas, ipsae
res verba rapiunt; ita fit cum gravior, tum etiam splendidior oratio.
Est, ut dicis, inquam. sed tamen omne, quod de re
bona dilucide dicitur, mihi praeclare dici videtur. istius
modi autem res dicere ornate velle puerile est, plane
autem et perspicue expedire posse docti et intellegentis viri.
