• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 13.52:

Post horam viii in balneum. Tum audivit de Mamurra, vultum non mutavit. unctus est, accubuit.

After two o'clock he went to the bath. Then he heard about Mamurra; his expression did not change. He was rubbed down with oil and lay down for dinner.

• βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 11.13:

Itaque tum et a tuo vilico sumpsimus et aliunde mutuati sumus cum Quintus queritur per litteras sibi nos nihil dedisse, qui neque ab illo rogati sumus neque ipsi eam pecuniam aspeximus.

So at the same time that we were taking handouts from your manager and borrowing from elsewhere, Quintus was whining in his letters that we had never given him anything; not only had he never asked us for the money — we hadn't even seen it ourselves.

• γʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 14.17a:

Hoc si tibi fortuna quadam contigisset, gratularer felicitati tuae, sed contigit magnitudine cum animi tum etiam ingeni atque consili.

If this had happened to you because of some good fortune I would have congratulated your luck, but it happened because of the greatness, not only of your spirit, but also of your talent and foresight.

• δʹ Cicero, Brutus 44.164:

et invidia concitatur in iudicum et in accusatorum factionem, contra quorum potentiam populariter tum dicendum fuit.

And jealousy is stirred up against the party of the judges and the prosecutors, whose power it was then necessary to speak against populistically.

• εʹ⁻² Cicero, De Natura Deorum 3.43:

Age porro: Iovem et Neptunum deum numeras; ergo etiam Orcus frater eorum deus, et illi, qui fluere apud inferos dicuntur, Acheron, Cocytus, Pyriphlegethon; tum Charon, tum Cerberus di putandi.

Come on, then: Jupiter and Neptune you count as a god; therefore, Orcus their brother is also a god, as are those who are said to flow in the underworld—Acheron, Cocytus, Pyriphlegethon; and then Charon, and then Cerberus should be considered gods.

• στʹ Horace, Sermones 1.5:

Hīc ĕgŏ | mēndā|cēm stūl|tīssĭmŭs | ūsquĕ pŭ|ēllām ād mĕdĭ|ām nōc|t(em) ēxspēc|tō; sōm|nūs tămĕn | āufērt īntēn|tūm vĕnĕ|rī; t(um) īn|mūndō | sōmnĭă | vīsū nōctūr|nām vēs|tēm măcŭ|lānt vēn|trēmquĕ sŭ|pīnūm.

Here I do the stupid thing and wait up till midnight for this girl who flaked out on me; anyway, sleep takes over while I'm ready for sex, and the dirty sort of dreams stain my nightclothes and upturned stomach.
