Exempla

“Cal. Exspectō sī quid dīcās. Meg. prīmumdum omnium, male dictitātur tibi volgō in sermōnibus: turpilucricupidum tē vocant cīvēs tuī; tum autem sunt aliī quī tē volturium vocant: hostīsne an cīvīs comedis parvī pendere. Haec quom audiō in tē dīcī, discrucior miser.”

Cal. If you have anything to say, I am waiting for it. Meg. Then, first of all, you are badly spoken of in general conversation by the public. Your fellow-citizens are calling you greedy of grovelling gain; and then, again, there are others who nickname you a vulture, and say that you care but little whether you devour enemies or fellow-citizens. Since I have heard these things said against you, I have, to my misery, been sadly agitated.
