[89]
an consules in praetore coercendo
fortes fuissent? primum Milone occiso habuisset suos consules;
deinde quis in1 eo praetore consul fortis esset2 per
quem tribunum virtutem consularem crudelissime vexatam
esse meminisset? oppressisset3 omnia, possideret, teneret;
lege nova, quae est inventa apud eum cum reliquis legibus
Clodianis4, servos nostros libertos suos effecisset5; postremo,
nisi eum di immortales in eam mentem impulissent ut homo
effeminatus fortissimum virum conaretur occidere, hodie
rem publicam nullam haberetis.
