Watching the Orator At Work
Nunc surgit magnus ōrātor, causam dictūrus: omnis locus
in subsellīs occupātur; plēnum est tribūnal; iūdicēs omnia
illīus verba audīre cupientēs silentium significant. Oculī
omnium ad illum vertuntur. Tum multae admīrātiōnēs,
multae laudēs. Ōrātor animōs audientium tangit. Ubi cupit
eōs metū aut misericordiā movērī, metū aut misericordiā
oppressī terrentur aut flent.
Dē ōrātore, etiam sī tū nōn adsidēns et attentē audiēns,
sed unō aspectū et praeteriēns eum aspēxeris, saepe
iūdicāre poteris. Vidēbis iūdicem ōscitantem, loquentem
cum alterō, nōn numquam etiam errantem, mittentem ad
hōrās, verba ab ōrātōre dicta neglegentem. Haec causa
caret vērō ōrātore, quī potest animōs iūdicum movēre
ōrātiōne. Sī autem ērēctōs iūdicēs vīderis, quī dē rē docērī
vidēbuntur aut suspēnsī tenēbuntur, ut cantū aliquō avēs,
cognōscēs signa verī ōrātōris et labōrem ōrātōrium bene
gerentis.
