animadverti, patres
conscripti, exaudivi1 etiam nimium a me Brutum2 ornari;
Cassio vero sententia mea dominatum et principatum dari.
quos ego orno? nempe eos qui ipsi sunt ornamenta rei
publicae. quid? D. Brutum nonne omnibus sententiis
semper ornavi? num igitur reprehenditis3? an Antonios
potius ornarem4, non modo suarum familiarum sed Romani
nominis probra atque dedecora? an Censorinum ornem5 in
bello hostem, in pace sectorem? an cetera ex eodem latrocinio
naufragia conligam? ego vero istos oti, concordiae,
legum, iudiciorum, libertatis inimicos tantum abest ut ornem
ut effici non possit quin eos tam oderim quam rem publicam
diligo.
