Who
would not wonder if you were to go as an ambassador to him? I judge by my own
case; for with regard to myself I see how the same design as you conceived is
found fault with. And are we the only people blamed? What? did that most gallant
man speak so long and so precisely a little while ago without any reason? What
was he laboring for, except to remove from himself a groundless suspicion of
treachery? And whence did that suspicion arise? From his unexpected advocacy of
peace, which he adopted all on a sudden, being taken in by the same error that
we were.
