[116]
ergo
quem ut poemate locum habet versificatio, eum ut
oratione compositio.
optime autem de illa iudicant aures, quae plena
sentiunt et parum expleta desiderant et fragosis
offenduntur et levibus mulcentur et contortis excitantur et stabilia probant, clauda deprehendunt,
redundantia ac nimia fastidiunt. ideoque docti
rationem componendi intelligunt, etiam indocti voluptatem.
Quintilian. With An English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1922.
