age nunc iter expediti
latronis cum Milonis impedimentis comparate. semper ille
antea cum uxore, tum sine ea; numquam nisi in raeda, tum
in equo; comites Graeculi, quocumque ibat, etiam cum in
castra Etrusca properabat, tum nugarum in comitatu1 nihil.
Milo qui numquam, tum casu pueros symphoniacos uxoris
ducebat et ancillarum greges; ille qui semper secum scorta,
semper exoletos, semper lupas duceret, tum neminem, nisi
ut virum a viro lectum esse diceres. cur igitur victus est?
quia non semper viator a latrone, non numquam etiam latro
a viatore occiditur; quia, quamquam paratus in imparatos
Clodius, ipse Clodius2 tamen mulier inciderat in viros.
