   • c. 200 BCE – 190 BCE, Plautus, Captivi 5.4:

     HĒGIŌ. Salvē, exoptāte gnāte mī. TYNDARUS. Hem, quid 'gnāte mī'?
     Attat, sciō quor tē patrem assimules esse et mē fīlium:
     quia mī item ut parentēs lūcis dās tuendī cōpiam.

     HEGIO. Hello, my wished-for son. TYNDARUS. Huh, what 'my son'?

   • 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Orator 60:

     Ita fit ut nōn item in ōrātiōne ut in versū numerus exstet, idque quod numerōsum in ōrātiōne dīcitur nōn semper numerō fīat, sed nōnnunquam aut concinnitāte aut cōnstructiōne verbōrum.

     So it turns out that there isn't a metre in prose just like in verse, and that which in oration is called 'metrical' is not always caused by metre, but also on occasion by the euphony and construction of the words.
