Page 92 - Horatio, quamquam illi epodos intervenit, reperiatur. at lyricorum idem Horatius fere solus legi dignus: nam 'et insurgit aliquando et plenus est iucunditatis et gratiae et varius" figuris et verbis felicissime audax.
Page 125 - Adde quod ea, quae in oratore maxima sunt, imitabilia non sunt, ingenium, inventio, vis, facilitas et quidquid arte non 13 traditur.

Page 88 - Lucilium fluere lutulentum et esse aliquid quod tollere possis, putat. Nam eruditio in eo mira et libertas atque inde acerbitas et abunde salis.
Page 61 - Tragoedias primus in lucem Aeschylus protulit, sublimis et gravis et grandiloquus saepe usque ad vitium, sed rudis in plerisque et incompositus ; propter quod correctas eius fabulas in certamen deferre posterioribus poetis Athenienses permiserunt, suntque eo modo multi 67 coronati.
