134.
If you are in authority and have a right to command, your commands delivered suaviter in modo will be willingly, cheerfully, and consequently well obeyed ; whereas, if given only fortiter, that is, brutally, they will rather, as Tacitus says, be interpreted than executed. For my own part, if I bid my footman bring me a glass of wine in a rough, insult- ing manner I should expect that in obeying me he would contrive to spill some of it upon me ; and I am sure I should deserve it. A cool, st...eady resolution should show that where you have a right to command you will be obeyed ; but, at the same time, a gentleness in the manner of enforc- ing in mo&o, fovtittv in re.
ing that obedience should make it a cheerful one, and soften, as much as possible, the mortifying consciousness of inferiority. If you are to ask a favour, or even to solicit your due, you must do it suaviter in modo, or you will give those who have a mind to refuse you either a pretence to do it, by resenting the manner ; but, on the other hand, you must, by a steady perseverance and decent tenaciousness, show \hefortiter in re.
