“You killed
your wife, though you were an adulterer yourself. I
should loathe you even if you had only divorced her.”
Here we have a division. “Do you wish me to prove
that a love-philtre is a poison? The man would still
be living, if he had not drunk it.” This is an
[p. 299]
argument. There are, moreover, a number of speakers
who not merely deliver many such epigrams, but
utter everything as if it were an epigram.
