Therefore I, who have been connected with Brutus by many mutual good offices and by the greatest
intimacy, need not say so much concerning him; for the part that I had marked
out for myself your speech has anticipated me in. But, O conscript fathers, the
opinion delivered by the man who was asked for his vote before me, has imposed
upon me the necessity of saying rather more than I otherwise should have said;
and I differ from him so repeatedly at present, that I am afraid (what certainly
ought not to be the case) that our continual disagreement may appear to diminish
our friendship.
