When the
voting tablets are given to you, O judges, it will not be Flaccus alone who will be interested
in their verdict; the generals and all those who are leaders in the preservation of the city
will all be interested; all good men will be interested; you yourselves will be interested;
your children, your own lives, your country, the general safety, will all be interested in
your vote. In this cause you are not determining about foreign nations, or about the allies;
you are deciding on the welfare of your own selves and your own republic.
