Horace and his Lyric Poetry. Cambridge University PRess.
Injurioso ne pede proruas
stantem columnam, neu populus frequens
ad arma cessantes, ad arma
concitet imperiumque frangat.
Horácio Odes 1.35.13-16
'Aux armes, citoyens!' cries the mob, but the moderates, the solid molossus of 'cessantes', hold it back at first, till with a second cry it sweeps them along in a torrent of dactyls. To put a comma before 'cessantes' and not after, as Vollmer does in the Teubner text, destroys the effect.
