Ut adeas, tantum
dabis would be a bad conclusion, for it forms the last
portion of an iambic trimeter: but it is followed by
ut cibum vestitumque introferre liceat, tantum:1 the
rhythm is still abrupt but is strengthened and supported by the last phrase of all, nemo recusabat.
1 Verr. V. xliv. 118. “To see him, you will pay so much, and so much to bring in food and clothing. No one refused.”
