1 Compare Sen. Agam. 601–2 pulvereamve nubem motam barbaricis equitum catervis with Tacitus' non cum corpore exstinguuntur magnae animae, placide quiescas: the rhythm is exactly similar, except that Seneca's line begins with a dactyl, Tacitus' words with a spondee. On the other hand, in quas neque lugeri neque plangi we have a dactylic rhythm familiar in Horace.
