Cui ego: Quid hoc est rei? cur non agnosco, Caecili, alacritatem tuam illam et illam oculorum etiam in seriis hilaritatem requiro? Tum ille: Iam dudum me Octavi nostri acriter angit et remordet oratio, qua in te invectus obiurgavit neglegentiae, ut me dissimulanter gravius argueret inscientiae.
I said to him: What is the matter? Why no hint, Caecilius, of your usual liveliness, and why miss the gaiety you show even in serious affairs? He replied: I have been brooding over the remarks of our friend Octavius, who stung and nettled me, when he attacked and chid you for negligence, but indirectly brought a heavier charge of ignorance against me.
