• forsooth:
    1. I. Indeed, in reality: vērē, ĕnimvēro: v. truly.
    2. II. Ironically, implying that the thing is not so:
      1. 1. scīlĭcet: f., we are to wait for the legal five years, s. exspectemus legitimum illud quinquennium, Cic. Verr. 2, 58, 142: v. of course.
      2. 2. nempĕ (esp. in answering an expressed or implied question): in what city, pray, do they maintain this? f., in that which witnessed the capital trial of M. Horatius, in qua tandem urbe haec disputant? in ea quae judicium de capite vidit M. Horatii, Cic. Mil. 3. 7: I know now what you want; you want me to go away from here, f., scio jam quid velis; n. hinc me abire vis, Pl. Merc. 4, 4, 36.
      3. 3. sānē: he has conferred a great favour, f., beneficium magnum s. dedit, Phaedr. 3, 15, 12: v. indeed.
      4. 4. vēro (rare in this sense): f., it is not so much they (your muscles) that are dead as you yourself, fool! non v. tam isti mortui quam ipse, nugator! Cic. Sen. 9, 27: distinguished praise, f., ye win, egregiam v. laudem refertis, Virg.
      5. 5. quippĕ: f., I am forbidden by the fates, q. vetor fatis, Virg. Aen. 1, 35: yes, f., that luminary of the senate disturbs me, movet q. me lumen curiae, Cic. Mil. 12, extr.
      6. 6. autem (in emphatic questions): shall I not touch my own? thine, f., scoundrel! ego non tangam meam? tuam autem, furcifer? Ter. Eun. 4, 7, 28: you will cross over into Africa: will cross, f., do I say? in Africam transcendes: transcendes, autem, dico? Liv. 21, 44, ad fin.
      7. 7. dēmum (denoting little more than emphasis, and gen. used with pronouns): but now in what f., (pray), does exile differ from constant travelling, jam vero exilium quantum d. a perpetua peregrinatione differt? Cic. Tusc. 5, 37, 107: you, f., as I see, repeal the law without balloting, vos demum, ut video, legem antiquatis sine tabella, Cic. Leg. 3, 17, 38.
