sed hic est illud
[p. 568]
inane, quod dixi: paulum enim morae damus inter
ultimum ac proximum verbum et turpe illud intervallo
quodam producimus; alioqui sit exultantissimum et
trimetri finis: quis non turpe duceret? sicut illud
ore excipere liceret, si iungas, lascivi carminis est;
sed interpunctis quibusdam et tribus quasi initiis fit
plenum auctoritatis.
