Hereupon Clement openly commended Cherea's intentions, but bid him
hold his tongue; for that in case his words should get out among many,
and such things should be spread abroad as were fit to be concealed, the
plot would come to be discovered before it was executed, and they should
be brought to punishment; but that they should leave all to futurity, and
the hope which thence arose, that some fortunate event would come to their
assistance; that, as for himself, his age would not permit him to make
any attempt in that case. "However, although perhaps I could suggest
what may be safer than what thou, Cherea, hast contrived and said, yet
trow is it possible for any one to suggest what is more for thy reputation?"
So Clement went his way home, with deep reflections on what he had heard,
and what he had himself said. Cherea also was under a concern, and went
quickly to Cornelius Sabinus, who was himself one of the tribunes, and
whom he otherwise knew to be a worthy man, and a lover of liberty, and
on that account very uneasy at the present management of public affairs,
he being desirous to come immediately to the execution of what had been
determined, and thinking it right for him to propose it to the other, and
afraid lest Clement should discover them, and besides looking upon delays
and puttings off to be the next to desisting from the enterprise.
