[98]
In a case so evident as this must we seek for arguments, or hunt for conjectures? Do
you not seem, O judges, actually to behold with your own eyes what you have been
hearing? Do you not see that unhappy man, ignorant of his fate, returning from supper?
Do you not see the ambush that is laid? the sudden attack? Is not Glaucia before your
eyes, present at the murder? Is not that Titus Roscius present? Is he not with his own
hands placing that Automedon in the chariot, the messenger of his most horrible
wickedness and nefarious victory? Is he not entreating him to keep awake that night? to
labour for his honour? to take the news to Capito as speedily as possible?
