"Additur orator Cornelius suaviloquenti Ore Cethegus ... is dictus popularibus olim ... Flos delibatus populi Suadaeque medulla." The first name on which we can pronounce with confidence is that of Cato. This great man was the first orator as he was the greatest statesman of his time. Cicero praises him as dignified in commendation, pitiless in sarcasm, pointed in phraseology, subtle in argument.
But what the Poet so much admires in his friend, may certainly be considered as one of the principal ornaments of Eloquence. He adds; " is dictus, ollis popularibus olim, Qui tum vivebant homines, atque aevum agitabant, Flos delibatus populi." "He was called by his cotemporaries, the choicest Flower of the State."
