Ego vero fateor, me his studiis esse deditum : cæteros pudeat, si qui ita se literis abdiderunt, ut nihil possint ex his neque ad communem afferre fructum, neque in adspectum Incemque proferre........... .Quare quis tandem me reprehendat, aut quis mihi jure Succetiseat, si, quantum cæteris ad suas res obeundas, quantum ad alias voluptates, et ad ipsam requiem animi et corporis conceditur temporis, tantum mihi egomet ad hæc studia recolenda sumpsero?"

CICERO.-pro ARCHIA.
