Again, a number of clauses may begin
with the same word for the sake of force and emphasis. “Were you unmoved by the guard set each
night upon the Palatine, unmoved by the patrolling
of the city, unmoved by the terror of the people,
unmoved by the unanimity of all good citizens, unmoved by the choice of so strongly fortified a spot
for the assembly of the senate, unmoved by the looks
and faces of those here present to-day?”1 Or
they may end with the same words. “Who demanded them? Appius. Who produced them?
Appius.”2
