maximo autem, cum haec scribebam, adficiebar dolore quod, cum me pro adulescentulo ac paene puero res publica accepisset vadem, vix videbar quod promiseram praestare posse. est autem gravior et difficilior animi et sententiae maximis praesertim in rebus pro altero quam pecuniae obligatio. haec enim solvi potest et est rei familiaris iactura tolerabilis; rei publicae quod spoponderis, quem ad modum solvas, nisi is dependi facile patitur pro quo spoponderis?
