Cicero's repartees weie seldom with
out energy. When Clodlus had been
acquitted of the charge of sacrilege by
jurors who had been bribed to biintr.
in a favorable verdict Cicero, who ap
peared as the defender of the republic,
left tho corrupt jurors and the favor
ers and suppoiters of that verdict
without a word to say for themselves.
He overwhelmed Clodlus in tho senate
to his face in a set speech. Then fol
lowed a duel of words In which Cicero
was all along the victor. Clodlus,
among other insinuations, said:
"You have bought a house."
"You would think that he said," le
torted Cicero, "you have bought a
jury!"
"They did not trust you on their
oath," said Clodius.
"Yes," said Cicoio, 'tenly-fle
jurors did trust me. Thirty-one did not
tiust you, for they took caie to get
their money beforehand."
Heie there was a burst of applause,
and Clodlus broke down and remained
silent.
There is nothing coldly classic In
these examples of Cicero's ready wit,
they might have come from a latter
day master of thrust and parry.
