faciunt illa quoque iucundam orationem,
aliqua mentione habita differre et deponere apud
memoriam iudicis et reposcere quae deposueris, et
iterare1 quaedam schemate aliquo, (non enim est
ipsa per se iteratio schema) et excipere aliqua et
dare actioni varios velut vultus. gaudet enim res
varietate, et sicut oculi diversarum aspectu rerum
magis detinentur, ita semper animis praestat, in
quod se velut novum intendant.
1 iterare, Halm: sperare, B: separare A (m.2).
