We all, O Pansa, ought both to feel and to show the greatest gratitude to you,
who,—though we did not expect that you would hold any senate
today,—the moment that you received the letters of Marcus Brutus, that most excellent citizen, did not
interpose even the slightest delay to our enjoying the most excessive delight
and mutual congratulation at the earliest opportunity. And not only ought this
action of yours to be grateful to us all, but also the speech which you
addressed to us after the letters had been read. For you showed plainly, that
that was true which I have always felt to be so, that no one envied the virtue
of another who was confident of his own.
