SENTIAM: future indicative. PERACTIO: the noun is said to occur only here in Cic.; cf. however 64 peragere; 70. HAEC ... DICEREM: the same words occur at the end of the Laelius; for habeo quod dicam Cic. often says habeo dicere, as in Balb. 34.

"Græcia capta ferum victorem cepit, et artes. Intulit agresti Latio." Here, too, he explains his own conduct in a beautiful passage.
Accordingly about the middle of the Epistle, a dilemma occurs from which no escape or deliverance is possible, except by an almighty falsehood. Take the leap Pope must, or else he must turn back when half-way through. 'Graecia capta ferum ietorera cepit, et artes Intulit agresti Latio.
