(a) Pars, occupatis maiore aegritudine animis, levem ex comparatione priorum ducere recentem equitum iacturam: pars non id, quod acciderat, per se aestimare, sed, ut in affecto corpore quamvis levis causa magis quam valido gravior sentiretur, ita tum aegrae et affectae civitati quodcumque adversi incideret, non rerum magnitudine, sed viribus extenuatis, quae nihil, quod aggravaret, pati possent, aestimandum esse. Itaque ad remedium iam diu neque desideratum 'nec adhibitum, dictatorem dicendum, civitas confugit. c. 8 §§ 2—5. (b) Rogatus in haec verba populus: 'Velitis iubeatisne hoc sic fieri? si res publica populi Romani Quiritium ad quinquennium proximum, sicut velim voveamque, salva servata erit hisce duellis, quod duellum populo Romano cum Carthaginiensi est, quaeque duella cum Gallis sunt qui cis Alpes sunt, tum donum duit populus Romanus Quiritium, quod ver attulerit ex suillo, ovillo, caprino, bovillo grege, quaeque profana erunt, Iovi fieri, ex qua die senatus populusque iusserit. Qui faciet, quando volet quaque lege volet, facito: quo modo faxit, probe factum esto. Si id moritur, quod fieri oportebit, profanum esto, neque scelus esto. si quis rumpet occidetve insciens, ne fraus esto. si quis clepsit, ne populo scelus esto, neve cui cleptum erit. si atro die faxit insciens, probe factum esto. si nocte sive luce, si servus sive liber faxit, probe factum esto. si antidea, ac senatus populusque iusserit fieri, faxitur, eo populus solutus liber esto.' c. 10 §§ 2-6. (c) Cum, laeta civitate, dictator unus nihil nec famae nec litteris crederet et, ut vera omnia essent, secunda se magis quam adversa timere diceret, tum M. Metilius tribunus plebis id enimvero ferendum esse negat, non praesentem solum dictatorem obstitisse rei bene gerendae, sed absentem etiam gestae obstare, et in ducendo bello sedulo tempus terere, quo diutius in magistratu sit solusque et Romae et in exercitu imperium habeat. c. 25 §§ 2-5. (d) Ceterum victoribus effuse sequentibus metu insidiarum obstitit Paulus consul; cuius eo die (nam alternis imperitabant) imperium erat, Varrone indignante ac vociferante, emissum hostem e manibus debellarique, ni cessatum foret, potuisse. Hannibal id damnum haud aegerrime pati; quin potius credere, velut inescatam temeritatem ferocioris consulis ac novorum maxime militum esse. et omnia ei hostium haud secus quam sua nota erant: dissimiles discordesque imperitare, duas prope partes tironum militum in exercitu esse. c. 41 §§ 2-5. (e) Hic cum a rege Philippo munera magna pecuniae repudiaret legatique hortarentur accipere simulque admonerent, si ipse iis facile careret, liberis tamen suis prospiceret, quibus difficile esset in summa paupertate tantam paternam tueri gloriam, his ille Si mei similes erunt, idem hic inquit agellus illos alet qui me ad hanc dignitatem perduxit; sin dissimiles sunt futuri, nolo meis impensis illorum ali augerique luxuriam. CORNELI NEPOTIS Phocion c. 1. I judge these journeys, which shake off slothfulness from me, to profit my studies and health. Thou seest why they help mine health since the love of learning maketh me slow and negligent of my body, I am exercised by others' help. I will shew thee why they profit my studies. I have not departed from reading: but it is necessary, as I suppose, first that I may not be contented with myself alone; then, that when I shall know things sought forth by other men, I may judge of things already found out, and may think of those that are yet to be found out. Reading nourisheth the wit; and, it being wearied with study, notwithstanding not without study refresheth it. Neither only ought we to write, or only to read; the one will make sad and consume the strength (I speak of writing): the other will dissolve and dissipate it. SENECA, Epist. 84.
