Letter 38
? 153–154 A.D. To my Lord. Whether the merit of the act set off the speech, or the speech did not fall short of a most noble act, I can hardly say: yet of this I am sure, that these words had the same author as those deeds. But your brother's speech also delighted me, for it was polished and politic, and I feel sure he had very little time for preparing it.
