My mind shudders at the recollection, O conscript fathers, and shrinks from
relating the cruelties which Lucius Antonius perpetrated on the children and
wives of the citizens of Parma. For
whatever infamy the Antonii have willingly undergone in their own persons to
their own infamy, they triumph in the fact of having inflicted on others by
violence. But it is a miserable violence which they offered to them; most unholy
lust, such as the whole life of the Antonii is polluted with.
