For many authors have considered figures identical
with tropes, because whether it be that the latter
derive their name from having a certain form or from
the fact that they effect alterations in language (a
view which has also led to their being styled motions),
it must be admitted that both these features are
found in figures as well. Their employment is also
the same. For they add force and charm to our
matter. There are some again who call tropes figures,
Artorius Proculus among them.
