Each

man, who (can command imperiōsus) himself; whom neither poverty, nor death, nor chains terrify.

Let not the joyous day pass without a particular mark of distinction. Thou knowest not whether the happy parents of beautiful Phyllis may honour thee their son-in-law.

Has the blood of vipers with these boiled herbs deceived me? or has Canidia touched these poisonous dishes?

For what was the cause why Cœlius wished to give poison to that woman? That he might not return the gold? Pray, did she ask it? That the crime might not attach? Did any one charge him with it?

Is he well? does he think of me? Favoured by the Muses, does he endeavour to fit the Theban measures to the Roman lyre?

I ask not that the criminal should be acquitted; but I ask this, that he should be impeached by this [man] rather than by the other.
