Admirable gain, when, if you, O Antonius, are
victorious (may the gods avert such a disaster!) the death of those men who
depart from life untortured will be accounted happy! He says that Hirtius and
Caesar ‘“have been cajoled by me by the same
compliments.”’ I should like to know what compliment has been
as yet paid to Hirtius by me; for still more and greater ones than have been
paid him already are due to Caesar. But do you, O Antonius, dare to say that
Caesar, the father, was deceived by me! You, it was you, I say, who really slew
him at the Lupercal games. Why, O most ungrateful of men, have you abandoned
your office of priest to him? But remark now the admirable wisdom and
consistency of this great and illustrious man.
