et hoc fas putas? poterat me liberare
Cicero, qui ita scribit ad Brutum, praepositis plurimis,
[p. 500]
quae honeste suaderi Caesari possint: simne bonus
vir, si haec suadeam? minime. Suasoris enim finis est
utilitas eius, cui quisque suadet. at recta sunt. quis
negat? sed non est semper rectis in suadendo locus.
sed quia est altior quaestio nec tantum ad suasorias
pertinet, destinatus est mihi hic locus duodecimo,
qui summus futurus est, libro.
