Examples

“Nunc tē patria, quae commūnis est parēns omnium nostrum, ōdit ac metuit et iam diū nihil tē iūdicat nisi dē parricīdiō suō cōgitāre; huius tū neque auctōritātem verēbere nec iūdicium sequēre nec vim pertimēscēs? Now your country — which is the common parent of us all — hates and fears you, and for a long time now has judged that you think about nothing except its own parricide; will you neither respect the authority, nor follow the judgment, nor greatly fear the force of this [parent]? (Cicero accuses Catiline of multiple attempts to kill Rome’s leading men: the fathers of the fatherland. The final three clauses, neque … nec … nec, form a tricolon crescens.)”
