at quidam, etiamsi forte susceperunt negotia
paulo ad dicendum tenuiora, extrinsecus adductis
ea rebus circumlinunt ac, si defecerint alia, conviciis
implent vacua causarum, si contingit, veris, si minus,
fictis, modo sit materia ingenii mereaturque clamorem dum dicitur. quod ego adeo longe puto ab
oratore perfecto, ut eum ne vera quidem obiecturum,
nisi id causa exigit, credam.
