totum aliud est pugnare, aliud uentilare. Hoc ita semper arbitratum est, scolam quasi ludum esse, forum arenam; et ideo ille primum in foro uerba facturus tiro dictus est. Agedum istos declamatores produc in senatum, in forum : cum loco mutabuntur; uelut adsueta clauso et delicatae umbrae corpora sub diuo stare non possunt, non imbrem ferre, non solem sciunt, uix se inuenient; adsuerunt enim suo arbitrio diserti esse.
