structura vero fortis et firma coniunctionumque perfacetarum nexa caesuris insolubilibus sed nec hinc minus lubrica et levis ac modis omnibus erotundata quaeque lectoris linguam inoffensam decenter expediat, ne salebrosas passa iuncturas per cameram palati volutata balbutiat; tota denique liquida prorsus et ductilis, veluti cum crystallinas crustas aut oncyhitinas non impacto digitus ungue perlabitur, quippe si nihil eum rimosis obicibus exceptum tenax fractura remoretur.
The structure is strong and compact, bound together by close-fitting connections where sentence is joined to sentence by masterly transitions: nor from this does the composition fail to be easy and smooth and completely rounded, letting the readers tongue run on gracefully without impediment and not bothered by harsh word-connections which make the voice stutter as it rolls round the arched palate; in short, the whole texture is absolutely fluent and ductile'as smooth as when the finger glides over plaques of crystal or onyx without striking the nail, because there are no gaping cracks or fissures to catch the nail and delay its progress.
