I should think myself highly ungrateful therefore, were I not to acknowledge that, among other great obligations which I owe to your indulgence, I have this in particular, that, in confidence of your favour, I have ventured to do, without consulting you, what would have been too late had I waited for your consent. keywords: -to; absence; accident; account; actions; administration; admiration; advanced; advantage; affair; affection; afraid; age; agreeable; ancestors; ancient; answer; anxiety; appearance; applause; application; arms; army; arria; assembly; assistance; assured; attention; audience; augustus; author; authority; bad; bar; bath; bear; beautiful; bed; benefit; best; bithynia; body; books; boy; brother; building; business; calvisius; capital; care; case; celebrated; certain; character; charge; chief; children; choice; cicero; circumstances; cities; city; claim; clear; close; coast; commands; common; company; composition; concern; concerned; conduct; consequence; considerable; consideration; consul; consular; content; continued; contrary; conversation; cornelius; correct; couch; counsel; countenance; country; course; court; credit; curiosity; custom; danger; dangerous; daughter; day; days; dead; deal; dearest; death; decree; demosthenes; design; desire; desirous; determined; different; dignity; dining; directions; disposition; distance; distinction; distinguished; domitian; doubt; duty; early; easy; edict; effect; elegant; eloquence; emperor; emperor trajan; empire; engaged; entire; equal; estate; esteemed; example; excellent; execution; exile; expense; experience; expression; extended; extensive; eyes; fall; fame; family; farewell; father; favour; favourable; fear; fellow; find; fine; finished; fixed; following; fond; foot; force; foreign; form; fortune; fountain; freedman; freedom; frequent; friends; friendship; future; games; garden; general; generous; genius; glorious; glory; gods; good; government; grant; great; greater; greatest; greek; grief; guilty; hand; happiness; happy; having; head; health; hearing; heart; height; heirs; high; higher; highest; history; honour; honourable; hope; house; husband; ignorant; ill; illness; illustrious; immortal; inclined; indulgence; infamous; inform; instance; intended; interest; journey; joy; judge; judgment; julius; justice; kind; known; lady; lake; large; late; law; laws; learning; leave; leaving; left; legacy; length; letter; liberty; lie; life; like; little; long; longer; look; loss; love; magistrates; man; mankind; manner; matter; maximus; means; members; memory; men; mention; mere; merit; method; middle; midst; mind; modestus; modesty; money; mother; motion; natural; nature; near; necessary; need; nero; new; noble; number; object; occasion; office; old; open; opinion; opportunity; opposite; orator; order; particular; parts; passage; pay; peculiar; people; perfect; performance; person; petition; philosopher; physicians; piece; place; plain; plead; pleading; pleased; pleasure; pliny; point; portico; possible; post; power; practice; praetor; praise; present; prince; priscus; private; privilege; produce; profession; proper; proportion; prosperity; province; public; punishment; purpose; question; rank; reading; ready; real; reason; reciting; regard; regulus; reign; remarkable; reply; repose; reputation; request; resolution; respect; respective; rest; retirement; return; right; rise; river; roman; romanus; rome; room; round; rufus; rule; running; runs; sacred; sake; satisfaction; sea; second; secundus; senate; senators; senecio; sensible; sentence; servants; service; set; severe; severus; shore; sides; single; sir; situation; skill; slaves; small; soldiers; sort; speech; speeches; spirit; spread; spurinna; stands; statue; strong; studies; study; style; subject; success; sufficient; suitable; summer; sun; supper; supply; support; table; tacitus; taste; temple; terms; terrace; thing; thought; time; town; trajan; trees; trouble; true; trust; truth; uncertain; uncle; usual; utmost; variety; view; villa; virtue; voice; walk; want; warmth; water; way; weather; wife; willing; windows; winter; wish; wishes; word; work; worthy; writing; years; young; youth cache: 2811.txt plain text: 2811.txt item: #2 of 3 id: 28676 author: Trollope, Anthony title: The Life of Cicero, Volume II. date: None words: 127673 flesch: 77 summary: As Appius was elected Censor immediately after his acquittal, together with that Piso whom Cicero had so hated, it may be understood that his influence was very great.[117] It was great enough to produce from Cicero letters which were flattering and false.

In Rome men under afflictions, particularly if under accusation, showed themselves in soiled garments so as to attract pity, and the meaning here is that Rullus went about as though under grief at the condition of his poor fellow-citizens, who were distressed by the want of this agrarian law. keywords: able;
