Auribus ista tam praeclara exempla Romana ciuitas accepit, illa uidit oculis. L. Manlio Torquato diem ad populum Pomponius tribunus pl. dixerat, quod occasione bene conficiendi belli inductus legitimum optinendi imperii tempus excessisset quodque filium optimae indolis iuuenem rustico opere grauatum publicis usibus subtraheret. id postquam Manlius adulescens cognouit, protinus urbem petiit et se in Pomponii domum prima luce direxit. qui existimans in hoc eum uenisse, ut patris crimina, a quo plus iusto aspere tractabatur, deferret, excedere omnes iussit cubiculo, quo licentius remotis arbitris indicium perageret. nactus occasionem opportunam proposito suo iuuenis gladium, quem tectum adtulerat, destrinxit tribunumque minis ac terrore conpulsum iurare coegit a patris eius accusatione recessurum, eoque effectum est ne Torquatus causam diceret. commendabilis est pietas, quae mansuetis parentibus praestatur. sed Manlius, quo horridiorem patrem habuit, hoc periculo eius laudabilius subuenit, quia ad eum diligendum praeter naturalem amorem nullo indulgentiae blandimento inuitatus fuerat.
