The

,
maners
,

,
and
affections
of
Catiline
.
Cap.
primo
.
LVCIVS
Sergius
Catiline
,
a
noble
man
borne
,
hadde
manye
vertues
,
dusked
and
defaced
with
exceadynge
greate
vices
.
He
was
ingenious
and
bolde
,
hee
hadde
a
good
memorie
,
and
was
well
lerned
.
To
doo
anye
greate
enterprise
,
hys
counsayle
was
not
to
seeke
,
and
to
goo
thoroughe
therewythall
,
he
wanted
neyther
tongue
nor
hande
.
He
was
an
experte
man
of
warre
:
he
coulde
suffer
and
endure
labour
,
watche
,
colde
,
thryste
,
and
honger
,
far
beyonde
that
any
man
wolde
beleue
.
But
at
these
his
qualities
men
most
merueiled
:
hee
coulde
wynne
and
obteyne
the
loue
and
friendshyp
of
euery
man
,
and
with
seruiseable
lowlines
kepe
and
mainteyne
the
same
:
all
that
he
hadde
was
at
his
friendes
commaundement
,
and
he
denied
to
no
man
desiringe
any
thyng
that
he
coulde
geue
.
But
excedynge
greate
vices
surmounted
these
vertues
:
hys
audacitie
was
incredible
,
hys
vnshamefastnes
very
singuler
,
hys
vnconstancie
wonderfull
,
fierce
of
mynde
,
dishonest
,
disceytefull
,
and
lecherous
:
ne
there
was
neuer
man
more
vnfaythful
or
more
cruell
then
he
.
Ne
there
was
neuer
man
in
this
worlde
,
I
thynke
,
that
had
his
desires
and
inclinacions
so
contrarie
,
so
diuers
,
and
so
repugnante
to
nature
.
In
rapinge
and
catchinge
he
was
auaricious
,
in
rewardynge
prodigall
:
he
kepte
company
wyth
manye
lewde
and
dishonest
persons
:
and
yet
feyned
him selfe
to
esteme
none
but
men
moste
vertuous
and
honorable
.
He
hyghly
hated
all
good
men
:
and
was
most
famyliar
with
men
most
noble
.
With
men
of
sadnes
he
lyued
soberly
,
with
pleasaunt
felowes
merilye
,
with
olde
men
saddely
,
with
youth
youthely
,
with
misdoers
boldly
,
with
lecherous
lecherously
.
This
man
from
his
child
hade
led
his
lyfe
in
all
vnlefull
lewdenes
:
many
thynges
after
his
luste
and
pleasure
,
and
many
thinges
crucily
,
he
dyd
to
the
citizens
of
Rome
and
their
alies
:
and
many
deedes
of
sacrilege
and
wickednes
he
committed
bothe
againste
the
goddes
and
men
.
For
he
takynge
Syllas
parte
,
slewe
with
his
owne
hande
Q.
Cecilius
,
M.
Volumnius
,
and
L.
Tantasius
,
moste
noble
cityzens
of
Rome
:
bycause
they
were
of
the
contrary
parte
.
Also
after
that
he
had
with
beatynges
all
to
haled
and
torne
throughe
the
citie
of
Rome
M.
Marius
Grandianus
(
the
whiche
was
of
the
common
people
singularly
beloued
,
and
which
had
ben
twise
Pretor
,
and
to
whom
for
honour
the
people
had
erected
images
in
eueri
strete
of
Rome
)
he
strake
of
the
heade
frome
his
shulders
,
the
people
lookinge
vpon
hym
:
and
he
with
his
owne
handes
bare
the
head
not
yet
fullye
deade
,
frome
the
lyttell
towne
,
not
farre
frome
Rome
,
called
Ianiculum
,
vnto
Sylla
to
the
temple
of
Appollo
.
There
be
also
,
whyche
saye
that
Catiline
defyled
hym selfe
wyth
slaughter
of
his
owne
brother
:
and
afterwarde
dredyng
therfore
to
be
punyshed
,
he
besoughte
Sylla
that
his
brother
that
he
had
kylde
,
myght
be
intituled
amonge
the
nombre
of
them
that
were
condemned
.
He
slewe
also
Catullus
,
his
systers
husbande
,
a
ryght
worshypfull
knight
of
Rome
.
Catiline
was
had
in
suspicion
of
incest
,
committed
with
hys
owne
syster
.
Farthermore
beyng
Pretor
in
Affrica
,
he
so
vexed
and
afflicted
the
countrey
,
that
the
ambassadoures
of
Affrike
(
hee
yet
gouernynge
the
Prouince
)
made
a
greuous
complaynte
vpon
hym
in
the
Senate
house
,
and
sharpe
sentences
were
of
the
fathers
gyuen
agaynste
hym
in
the
senate
house
:
for
some
Senatours
wolde
he
shoulde
haue
ben
delyuered
to
the
Ambassadours
,
And
as
sone
as
he
was
returned
from
Affryca
,
the
yonge
man
Pub.
Clodius
accused
hym
or
extorcion
and
brybery
.
Cicero
in
Toga
candida
,
and
Lucretius
in
the
orations
that
he
worte
agaynste
Catiline
,
obiected
agaynste
hym
,
that
he
had
maryed
his
owne
doughter
,
the
whiche
he
begate
on
a
gentell
woman
,
whose
company
he
haunted
very
moche
:
And
it
was
reported
for
so
certayne
,
that
he
had
committed
fornicacyon
with
Fabia
,
Ciceros
wyfes
sister
,
and
a
nonne
,
that
beinge
accused
therof
,
vnneth
he
escaped
through
fauour
of
Catulus
.
Finally
Catiline
caught
with
the
loue
of
Aurely
Orestilla
,
that
had
(
as
the
fame
wente
)
a
faire
and
a
beautifull
face
,
slewe
his
owne
wife
.
After
that
he
desired
Aurelia
to
his
wyfe
,
but
she
not
fearing
his
house
that
runne
of
bloude
of
his
fyrste
wife
,
but
that
she
was
adredde
of
his
sonne
in
lawe
a
yonge
man
,
therfore
she
sayde
she
durste
,
not
marye
with
hym
.
But
Catiline
to
the
ende
he
mighte
haue
Aurelia
,
heaped
myschyefe
vppon
mischyefe
:
for
when
he
hadde
poysoned
hys
sonne
in
lawe
,
he
maried
Aurelia
.
Nor
Catiline
defiled
hym selfe
noo
more
with
the
filthy
loue
of
women
,
then
he
did
of
boyes
.
Thus
Catiline
beinge
spotted
with
so
manye
wicked
cursed
,
and
shamefull
dedes
burned
alwaye
with
an
incredyble
desyre
to
oppresse
the
common
welthe
.
For
he
coueted
honours
,
the
imperial
roumes
,
prouynces
,
triumphes
,
and
thynges
out
of
his
reache
:
the
whiche
he
had
no
hope
to
obteyne
,
so
longe
as
the
common
weale
was
in
quiete
:
but
beinge
troubled
,
he
beleued
veryly
to
haue
them
.
Lastely
trustynge
in
hys
great
route
of
vnthriftes
and
hopelostes
,
he
toke
counsayle
to
enuade
the
common
weale
.
¶
But
for
bycause
L.
Catiline
conspired
twise
ageynst
the
common
weale
,
ones
when
Lepidus
and
Vulcatius
weere
consuls
,
and
ageyne
when
Cicero
was
consul
it
is
requisite
,
before
we
come
to
the
thynges
that
were
done
in
the
time
of
Ciceros
consulshyp
,
somwhat
to
recite
of
the
former
Conspiracy
.
¶
The
fyrste
Conspiracie
of
L.
Catiline
and
P.
Antronius
.
Cap.
ii
WHAN
P.
Antronius
and
P.
Sylla
were
chosen
to
be
consuls
:
(
L.
Tullus
,
M.
Lepidus
beinge
consuls
)
they
were
accused
of
ambition
,
and
spoyled
of
honour
and
fame
:
Antronius
(
as
he
was
a
man
,
which
in
prosperitie
was
accustomed
to
dispise
al
men
,
and
in
aduersitie
to
striue
ageynste
those
that
were
good
men
)
wold
neyther
gyue
place
to
tyme
,
nor
yet
to
Fortune
her selfe
,
but
thought
in
his
mynde
by
force
to
recouer
the
consulship
,
which
he
had
forgone
by
iustice
.
Wherefore
he
disclosed
his
intente
to
L.
Catiline
,
and
L.
Vargunteius
,
and
Gn.
Piso
,
an
vnthriftye
,
riottous
,
and
hasty
yonge
man
,
and
very
desyrous
to
disturbe
the
common
weale
.
The
whiche
supposynge
they
coulde
not
easely
brynge
this
thinge
to
passe
,
withoute
the
helpe
of
some
greate
man
,
they
got
to
associate
and
helpe
them
L.
Licinius
Crassus
,
a
man
that
florished
in
great
fauour
,
rychesse
,
and
honoure
.
Hym
they
made
theyr
chiefe
capitayne
in
this
matter
?
bycause
he
was
not
frendely
but
ennemye
to
Gn.
Pompei
,
and
sore
agreued
that
he
grewe
so
gret
in
the
common
weale
.
These
men
conspired
aboute
the
vij
.
daye
of
December
,
and
purposed
with
a
great
nombre
of
bondmen
and
sworde
players
,
gathered
together
the
fyrste
daye
Ianuarye
folowinge
,
to
slee
L.
Cotta
,
and
L.
Torquatus
the
consuls
,
and
to
besiege
the
Palaice
:
and
after
they
had
murdered
many
of
the
Senatoures
,
Crassus
shoulde
inuade
the
dictatourshyppe
:
Catiline
and
Antronius
,
catchynge
vp
the
ornamentes
of
consulshyp
with
the
sergiantes
,
shulde
descende
into
the
felde
:
and
the
common
weale
ordered
after
theyr
diuise
,
Piso
withe
an
armye
shoulde
be
sente
to
conquere
bothe
Spaynes
.
But
Crassus
,
when
the
daye
of
thys
murther
was
come
,
repentinge
hym selfe
,
wolde
not
be
there
.
Wherfore
the
other
conspiratoures
were
so
discoraged
,
by
reason
of
his
absence
,
that
they
coulde
not
performe
theyr
enterprise
.
Some
report
otherwise
,
and
they
writen
,
that
these
noble
men
were
not
slaine
,
by
reson
that
Catiline
gaue
token
to
the
rebels
,
before
they
were
redy
.
C.
Caesar
,
and
P.
Sylla
,
moste
noble
citezens
were
named
to
be
in
this
conspiracie
.
And
farther
theye
saye
,
it
was
so
appoynted
,
Caesar
shoulde
haue
ben
maister
of
the
horsemen
.
But
Caesars
vertue
,
noblenesse
,
and
magnyficente
mynde
defendethe
hym
not
to
be
in
this
conspiracie
:
And
the
moste
noble
oratour
,
Q.
Hortentus
defendethe
Sylla
.
Of
this
conspiracye
Cicero
speaketh
in
his
eplstoll
,
which
he
sent
to
Pompei
,
of
his
dedes
,
and
of
chastite
of
the
common
weale
wrytynge
,
that
two
yeres
befoore
,
there
was
an
incredyble
foroure
,
and
broughte
to
lyghte
in
hys
consulshyppe
,
But
hytherto
we
haue
spoken
of
the
fyrste
conspiracye
.
¶
Of
the
other
conspirary
far
greatter
and
more
greuous
.
Cap.
iii.
AL
thoughe
the
fyrste
conspyracye
came
shamefullye
to
passe
,
yet
Catiline
chaunged
not
his
purpose
,
nor
woulde
desyste
frome
his
wicked
and
cursed
perswasyon
to
oppresse
the
common
weale
:
But
was
more
feruente
and
desyrous
by
reason
that
he
supposed
,
some
mishap
letted
,
that
the
first
conspiracy
went
not
luckely
forwarde
:
and
againe
bycause
there
were
many
citizens
of
Rome
,
whiche
to
lyue
in
lust
and
lykynge
,
were
so
farre
endetted
,
that
they
coulde
not
come
,
oute
withoute
sellynge
of
theyr
landes
.
But
they
loued
so
moche
theyre
possessions
,
that
rather
then
they
shulde
be
spoyled
of
them
,
Catiline
wiste
verye
wel
thei
wolde
venter
to
do
what
soeuer
he
desired
them
.
Also
the
hope
that
he
had
,
to
obtayne
the
consulshep
,
kendeled
moche
his
courage
,
and
,
namely
,
bycause
he
hoped
to
haue
to
be
hys
felowe
in
office
C.
Antonius
his
speciall
frende
.
Farthermore
his
decaye
in
substaunce
,
and
his
beastely
,
cruel
,
and
importunate
nature
stered
hym
,
which
desired
neyther
rest
nor
yet
warre
:
except
it
were
amonge
them selfe
.
There
was
also
a
greatter
cause
whiche
stablyshed
Catiline
(
a
man
of
his
owne
corage
bent
to
disturbe
the
common
weale
)
in
hys
hardynes
&
desyre
:
For
after
that
L.
Sylla
had
by
conquest
taken
on
hym
to
rule
the
common
weale
,
puttinge
out
the
old
inhabitaunce
of
Fesules
,
appoynted
his
men
of
warre
(
to
whome
he
had
gyuen
ryght
greate
prayes
)
to
dwel
there
.
These
men
of
nedy
persons
beinge
sodeynly
enryched
with
other
mennes
goodes
,
beganne
,
to
buylde
righte
sumptous
and
statelye
manour
places
and
houses
,
and
to
make
costly
feastes
and
great
expences
.
And
whyle
they
thus
lyued
after
the
maner
and
arraye
of
kynges
,
the
greate
abundaunce
of
goodes
,
that
they
by
spillynge
of
bloude
and
slaughter
of
citizens
had
heaped
together
,
were
sone
wasted
and
spente
.
For
yll
goten
goodes
are
soone
broughte
to
naughte
.
The
condicions
.
the
dedes
,
and
maners
of
them
that
were
felowes
of
the
conspyracy
,
whiche
were
in
the
city
.
Cap.
iiii
.
THERE
WAS
neither
at
Rome
,
nor
yet
in
no
corner
of
Italy
,
any
poysoner
,
sword
plaier
,
thefe
,
murderer
,
parentes
sleer
,
forger
of
false
testamentes
,
horemonger
,
riottoure
,
or
aduouterer
,
but
that
he
was
somewhat
familiarlye
acqueynted
with
Catiline
.
And
who
so
euer
at
Rome
had
prodigally
spent
awaye
his
landes
,
and
ryottouisy
consumed
his
goodes
,
suche
were
Catilines
moste
nere
and
dereste
frendes
.
And
loke
whom
he
knewe
folehardye
,
him
moste
gladlye
wolde
he
reteyne
into
his
frendeship
.
For
he
saide
they
that
muste
be
called
to
be
assocyate
in
a
ciuyll
warre
,
shulde
in
no
wise
be
feareful
and
coward
caytyues
.
Farthermore
he
intyced
to
hym
manye
noble
yonge
men
,
to
some
promysynge
bodilye
luste
and
pleasure
,
to
some
the
deathe
of
theyr
parentes
,
some
he
wan
with
money
,
some
with
fauoure
,
some
withe
bodelye
labour
,
ye
with
the
helpe
of
a
myscheuous
dede
,
if
nede
required
:
and
as
he
sawe
in
them
diuers
inclinacions
,
so
withe
diuers
reasons
he
allured
them
to
be
his
frendes
.
Also
he
enterteyned
certayne
men
of
greate
power
and
honestye
by
dissimulacion
and
cloked
vertue
.
For
(
as
we
sayde
)
he
was
adourned
with
many
noble
qualities
,
the
whiche
I
woulde
to
god
he
had
turned
and
applyed
to
a
better
intent
and
purpose
.
¶
Thus
whan
Catiline
had
got
together
a
huge
multitude
of
ryottous
hopelostes
,
and
vnthriftye
caytyues
about
the
fyrste
daye
of
Iune
,
L.
Iulius
Cesar
,
and
C.
Marius
Fygulus
beynge
consuls
,
fyrste
he
beganne
to
proue
euery
mans
courage
aparte
secretely
,
&
to
declare
what
great
aduauncementes
they
shulde
haue
by
reason
of
the
conspiracie
,
to
some
that
were
couetous
he
sayde
,
theyr
tyme
was
come
to
haue
inoughe
:
to
some
desirous
thereof
he
behighte
roume
and
auctorite
:
some
he
put
in
remembraunce
of
greate
spoyle
,
pillage
,
and
robberye
.
And
so
after
he
perceiued
they
were
redye
and
prompt
to
the
matter
,
all
the
moste
noble
,
and
moste
valiante
and
hardye
enterprisers
,
and
them
,
with
whom
he
was
most
familiar
and
nerest
alied
,
he
assembled
together
into
the
house
of
M.
Lecca
.
This
house
Catiline
chose
oute
for
hym
,
bycause
it
stode
farre
from
the
frequence
and
resorte
of
people
:
for
he
demed
an
oute
corner
or
a
solytary
place
moste
conueniente
for
hys
purpose
.
So
thither
resorted
to
this
assembly
of
the
most
noble
linage
of
the
Cornelians
,
P.
Lentulus
Sura
,
a
manne
lykelye
to
be
consull
,
and
was
nephewe
to
that
moste
noble
and
worthy
Lentulus
,
which
beinge
armed
,
pursued
Gracchus
into
the
hyll
Auentine
.
This
Lentulus
in
feruente
desyre
of
roume
and
auctorite
was
egall
to
Catiline
:
but
touchynge
the
greate
diligence
,
wit
,
and
polyce
vsed
in
warre
,
he
was
nothynge
comparable
to
hym
.
Ne
the
lesse
he
was
a
man
of
goodlye
personne
,
and
righte
eloquente
in
wordes
,
and
beinge
induced
by
diuinacion
,
he
beleued
,
that
his
name
was
predestinate
to
destroye
the
common
weale
.
For
he
sayde
,
that
by
the
bokes
of
Sybill
,
and
answeres
of
the
southesayers
,
there
shoulde
be
three
of
that
name
Cornelius
,
that
shulde
be
souerayne
gouernours
:
and
that
he
him selfe
was
the
thyrde
Cornelius
,
to
whome
the
empire
and
kingdome
of
the
Romaynes
ought
of
necessitie
to
come
.
For
he
sayde
,
that
Sinna
and
Sylla
had
bene
before
him
.
¶
Miserable
and
wretched
ar
those
men
that
put
truste
in
suche
southsaiers
,
to
whome
the
punishement
of
Lentulus
ought
to
be
a
good
example
,
on
how
many
rough
rockes
and
perils
they
make
men
to
runne
¶
In
this
lentulus
noughte
remayned
of
the
noble
bloude
of
his
ancestoures
,
ne
nothing
of
theyr
glorious
and
famous
dedes
:
but
all
thynges
contrary
to
theym
,
for
in
stede
of
theyre
honestie
,
temperaunce
,
manlinesse
,
and
prudence
,
he
was
indewed
with
fylthynesse
,
lechery
sluggishe
slouthe
and
foolehardynesse
.
But
yet
he
was
twyse
Senatour
,
and
twise
accused
in
iudgemente
,
and
escaped
.
¶
Also
thither
came
C.
Cethegus
,
this
man
passed
Catiline
in
lewde
enterprises
,
and
foolehardynesse
,
but
in
feates
of
warre
,
nobilitie
,
and
strength
of
body
,
he
was
in
maner
egall
to
hym
.
For
he
beinge
but
a
souldioure
in
the
warres
,
dyd
many
greate
and
notable
dedes
,
full
oft
his
ennemy
in
armes
he
ouerthrewe
:
he
was
a
right
good
horseman
,
and
a
perfect
man
of
armes
.
And
there
was
no
businesse
so
weyghty
,
nor
none
so
harde
and
difficile
,
but
that
it
semed
to
him
lighte
and
easy
:
So
grete
so
large
,
and
so
immoderate
was
his
hart
and
courage
.
This
man
had
afore
time
fore
wounded
the
moste
noble
and
worthye
man
Q.
Metelius
Pius
.
And
had
an
other
tyme
,
as
it
was
saide
,
conspired
agaynst
the
common
weale
¶
Also
of
this
band
was
P.
Cimber
Gabinius
,
a
great
man
of
birthe
:
but
hee
was
dishoneste
,
cruell
,
a
poller
,
proude
,
deceitfull
,
vnshamefaste
,
and
gyuen
to
bodelye
luste
.
¶
Also
of
this
confideraci
were
L
,
Crassus
Longinus
and
P.
Antronius
,
bothe
noble
men
,
bothe
eloquente
,
boothe
hadde
in
great
honour
and
estimacion
,
and
both
were
consuls
at
diuers
times
:
those
two
were
lyke
in
carnall
luste
,
in
cruelnes
,
in
shamefastenes
,
and
their
audacitie
double
:
of
the
whiche
the
tone
by
force
and
violence
thruste
men
out
of
theyr
possessions
,
slewe
and
murthered
,
and
robbed
churches
and
chapels
,
the
tother
commytted
many
abuoutries
and
fornications
.
It
were
to
longe
for
me
to
diseriue
euery
mannes
lyfe
and
maners
,
namely
sythe
I
haste
me
to
declare
the
thyngs
that
are
more
necessary
to
be
spoken
.
¶
Soo
there
assembled
together
in
this
house
,
beside
those
that
are
afore
rehersed
,
L.
Vargunteius
a
Senatour
,
P.
Seruius
Silla
,
Q.
Curius
,
Q.
Annius
,
P.
&
M.
Lecca
,
L.
Calphurmus
Bestia
,
M.
Fuluius
Nobilior
,
P.
Satilius
,
P.
Furius
,
Manlius
Chilo
,
and
P.
Tongillus
:
And
more
ouer
straungers
borne
and
inhabitantes
of
townes
that
were
vnder
the
dominion
of
the
Romaines
,
suche
as
were
chiefest
and
of
moste
estimacion
,
they
made
of
counsaile
with
them
.
¶
Also
there
were
some
,
that
woulde
not
come
at
thys
assemble
,
but
they
were
priuelye
parteners
to
this
myscheuous
dede
,
and
secretly
dyd
ayde
and
helpe
Catiline
.
Amonge
the
whiche
some
saide
,
that
M.
Crassus
,
and
C.
Cesar
,
had
knowledge
of
this
conspiracie
,
and
were
bothe
helpers
and
furtherers
of
the
same
.
They
sayde
,
that
Crassus
was
driuen
thereto
by
reason
that
he
was
sore
greued
in
his
mynde
to
se
G.
Pompei
hys
ennemye
to
be
of
al
men
(
for
the
noble
dedes
and
conquestes
that
he
had
done
,
both
by
lande
and
sea
)
demed
and
estemed
as
chiefe
and
soueraigne
of
the
citye
:
and
for
that
cause
Crassus
trusted
,
if
the
conspiratours
dydde
vanquishe
and
ouercome
,
that
he
hym selfe
myghte
easelye
bee
the
prince
and
soueraigne
of
all
the
worlde
.
They
sayde
Cesar
was
driuen
therto
,
by
reason
that
through
his
great
and
large
liberalitie
,
he
owed
aboue
,
DCCC.xxx
.
talentes
.
Some
saye
that
all
these
thynges
were
feyned
and
blowen
abrode
by
their
enemies
:
and
shoulde
in
no
wyse
be
beleued
,
that
so
noble
men
shoulde
confederate
them selues
with
Lentulus
Catiline
,
and
Cethegus
,
desperate
caitiues
.
What
certeine
knowledge
I
haue
of
eyther
of
them
,
I
wyl
after
in
place
conuenient
declare
.
But
when
these
men
that
I
haue
rehersed
were
there
assembled
together
,
Catiline
tooke
them
a
parte
,
and
thus
he
sayde
.
¶
The
oracion
of
L
Catiline
to
hys
felowes
of
the
conspiracie
.
Cap.
v.
YOVRE
incredible
faythefulnes
,
and
the
great
fortitude
and
manhode
that
I
haue
alwaye
perceiued
in
you
,
dothe
encourage
my
herte
,
yea
and
putteth
me
in
greate
hope
,
not
onelye
to
recouer
libertie
,
but
also
to
enlarge
and
augmente
our
olde
dignitie
.
For
whan
I
loke
and
well
beholde
eche
of
you
,
I
se
no
man
in
this
companye
,
that
hath
not
done
some
noble
and
worthye
acte
:
ne
no
man
,
but
that
he
derely
tendereth
my
welth
,
ne
no
man
but
either
he
hath
done
me
pleasure
,
or
els
I
him
,
ne
no
man
but
that
I
am
bounde
to
remembre
for
euer
more
his
goodnes
toward
me
.
And
therfore
now
I
haue
no
feare
to
disclose
and
open
vnto
you
,
what
I
purpose
and
intende
:
nor
I
haue
no
drede
nor
mistruste
,
but
that
eche
of
you
wil
endeuour
hym
to
the
vttermoste
of
your
power
,
to
accomplysshe
and
bringe
to
effecte
,
that
that
I
shall
shewe
you
.
For
the
olde
lawe
of
iuste
and
trewe
amitie
,
that
of
a
longe
time
hath
ben
betwene
vs
,
is
,
that
frendes
shulde
alwaye
wyll
one
thynge
:
nor
there
is
no
bonde
of
frendshyppe
more
certayne
and
sure
,
then
the
consent
and
societie
of
counsayll
and
wyll
.
And
therfore
in
this
cause
most
specially
your
wyls
and
myne
ought
to
be
one
,
for
soo
moche
as
ye
shall
well
perceiue
,
that
those
thinges
,
that
my
harte
so
sore
desyreth
to
bringe
to
passe
,
are
egally
good
and
euyll
,
bothe
for
you
and
me
.
Oftentimes
by
my selfe
thinking
on
the
miseries
,
that
we
many
yeres
haue
benne
wrapped
in
,
and
(
as
me
semeth
,
shall
be
styll
,
onlesse
your
moste
prudente
wysedomes
woll
prouide
remedy
:
I
am
wonte
to
call
to
remembraunce
,
what
a
wretched
life
we
shal
leade
in
time
to
come
,
without
we
set
our selfe
at
libertie
.
For
I
nede
not
to
reherse
to
you
,
your selfe
beare
it
well
inoughe
in
in
remembraunce
,
howe
many
and
dyuers
hurtes
and
griefes
we
haue
endured
sithe
the
moste
common
wele
through
the
crueltie
of
certayne
vngratious
persones
,
was
permitted
and
let
slippe
to
be
vnder
the
rule
,
order
,
and
power
of
a
fewe
,
and
suche
as
began
to
take
more
,
vpon
them
,
then
all
the
rest
besyde
.
For
I
,
lettinge
passe
to
reherse
the
mishappe
and
chaunce
that
ech
of
vs
hath
had
,
you
maye
with
one
regarde
beholde
all
vs
that
be
here
:
noble
,
stronge
,
and
valiante
men
,
whiche
often
tymes
for
the
common
weale
haue
not
eschewed
perylles
moste
greate
and
greuous
)
and
hauynge
neyther
lande
nor
rent
,
lefte
as
wretches
,
nedy
,
sorowfull
,
and
out
castes
,
haue
as
moche
as
we
can
do
,
to
defende
our
liues
,
fame
,
citie
and
goodes
,
But
they
,
whiche
violate
,
vexe
,
and
trouble
all
together
,
bothe
the
lawe
of
god
and
man
,
not
onely
walowinge
in
riches
and
welthe
,
pleasantlye
passe
awaye
theyr
tyme
where
they
luste
:
but
also
euery
thynge
beinge
done
at
theyr
commaundement
and
wyl
,
seke
wayes
and
meanes
to
attrappe
and
destroye
the
moste
noble
and
valiant
men
of
our
citie
:
and
they
them selfe
are
in
doubte
of
nothinge
:
finallye
theye
haue
and
exercise
a
regall
power
.
I
haue
no
word
more
greuous
when
I
name
this
royal
power
:
but
surely
theyr
power
is
greatter
than
a
kinges
.
What
kingdome
was
there
euer
,
that
had
mo
kynges
at
one
tyme
,
what
kinge
was
there
euer
so
mightie
and
soo
stronge
,
the
whiche
had
a
power
to
constitute
and
make
kynges
?
But
these
men
haue
full
power
to
rule
all
prouinces
,
and
depriue
free
nacions
of
theyr
landes
,
and
to
geue
and
dispose
other
mennes
royalmes
and
kyngedomes
.
To
these
men
all
the
whole
world
,
kynges
,
princes
,
and
straunge
nacions
haue
ben
alwaies
tributours
.
And
so
they
haue
all
the
power
,
fauoure
,
ryches
,
worshyp
,
and
honoure
.
To
the
satisfiynge
of
the
whole
couetousenes
,
surelye
it
semeth
all
the
whole
worlde
is
to
lyttell
and
ouer
straite
.
But
nowe
,
if
they
wolde
seeke
only
to
haue
the
power
,
riches
and
honoure
,
they
shulde
be
to
vs
greuous
,
but
yet
they
mought
be
suffered
and
borne
.
But
what
is
he
that
can
endure
and
suffer
,
that
they
hauynge
abundance
of
cattell
,
golde
,
syluer
,
iuorie
,
ryche
araye
,
costlye
howsholde
stuffe
,
and
other
thynges
,
shulde
daylye
lye
in
awaite
to
catche
vs
in
some
snare
,
that
are
nedy
and
want
al
these
thynges
,
and
that
are
with
their
boastynges
and
bragges
,
greuouslye
wronged
:
ye
and
beside
that
,
to
goo
aboute
styl
to
depriue
vs
of
this
oure
sorowfull
and
most
wretched
lyfe
?
We
are
sore
thretened
,
and
are
in
perpetuall
peryll
and
dreede
of
them
,
oure
iudgementes
and
puttynge
from
all
roumes
and
offices
are
prepared
.
Whyche
thynges
howe
longe
wyll
you
most
valiaunte
and
noble
men
,
pacientlye
beare
and
suffer
?
Were
it
not
better
for
a
man
a
thousande
tymes
to
dye
,
then
to
lyue
in
that
citye
where
he
is
an
abiecte
,
contemned
,
and
despised
of
all
other
,
desperate
and
forsaken
,
tremblynge
and
quakynge
,
mistrustinge
his
owne
affaires
,
not
so
hardye
to
speke
,
without
lybertie
,
without
auctorite
,
and
wythout
any
shappe
of
free
man
?
Yea
and
to
be
subiecte
to
those
,
the
whiche
if
wee
had
a
common
weale
,
wolde
be
in
feare
and
dreede
of
vs
.
Wherfore
moste
hardy
and
valiant
men
,
let
vs
at
laste
shake
of
our
stuggishenesse
,
and
let
vs
take
suche
hart
and
courage
as
besemeth
noble
Romaynes
borne
.
Our
forefathers
coulde
not
suffre
the
proude
kynge
Tarquimus
:
and
canne
we
suffer
not
one
kynge
,
but
many
moste
cruell
tyrantes
?
Surely
I
will
neuer
leaue
you
,
I
wyll
monishe
you
,
I
wyll
teache
and
instructe
you
,
I
wyll
alwaye
declare
to
you
,
what
I
thynke
beste
to
be
done
:
there
shall
no
tyme
escape
me
neyther
night
nor
daye
,
but
that
I
woll
minde
and
imagine
,
what
soo
euer
concerninge
oure
libertye
,
ought
to
be
thought
on
,
that
thynge
,
that
oughte
to
be
entreprised
and
done
,
wyll
not
I
make
courtsye
to
doo
,
but
shall
desyre
and
praye
you
to
haue
the
doinge
therof
,
fynally
I
wyll
do
that
that
becometh
a
worthy
Romayne
to
do
:
that
is
,
for
our
libertie
I
wyll
put
my
life
in
ieoperdy
:
But
I
protest
before
god
and
man
,
that
the
victorie
is
in
our
handes
,
if
we
wyll
playe
the
men
.
We
haue
here
at
hande
Syllas
souldiours
,
withe
all
theyr
fauour
,
strengthe
,
and
one
assente
,
redye
to
ayde
vs
:
by
whose
sodeyne
commynge
,
we
shall
shortelye
haue
a
stronge
and
sure
hoste
of
men
,
With
like
diligence
,
fauour
and
loue
to
recouer
libertie
,
the
moste
bolde
and
valiante
men
,
Gn.
Piso
,
and
P.
Siccinius
Nucerius
,
haue
conspired
with
vs
:
of
the
whiche
the
tone
is
in
the
hither
Spayne
with
a
great
armye
,
the
tother
is
capytayne
and
ruleth
Mauritaine
.
Those
two
shal
we
haue
as
felowes
in
counsaylynge
,
and
moste
trusty
and
sure
helpers
in
our
nedes
and
busynesse
.
But
other
menne
,
good
lorde
what
routes
,
and
withe
what
fauoure
,
and
hardy
courage
they
agree
with
vs
to
recouer
liberte
?
I
let
passe
here
to
speake
of
the
noble
citizens
,
the
whiche
hauinge
neither
lande
nor
rent
left
,
and
being
wrapped
in
great
wretchednesse
and
nede
,
can
vnneth
suffer
and
endure
,
that
this
so
noble
and
mighty
a
citie
shoulde
be
subiecte
to
the
wyll
and
power
of
a
fewe
persons
.
For
who
is
the
moste
noble
and
valiante
men
,
the
whose
ryches
,
worshyp
,
honour
,
prouynces
,
roumes
,
offyces
,
and
hyghe
auctorities
,
are
not
dere

pleasante
?
Whereto
shulde
I
reherse
to
you
the
good
wylles
of
poore
men
,
whiche
vnfortunate
felowes
,
beinge
oppressed
with
excedynge
greate
dette
,
and
trouble
with
infinite
wronges
,
can
not
be
safe
and
sure
by
none
other
meane
than
by
ciuile
warre
,
But
what
nedethe
me
to
remembre
to
you
these

,
the
whiche

they
gaue

And
vnto

I
WYL
NOT
in

omytte
,
that
Linius
and
Saluste
haue
lefte

After
Catiline
had
ended
his
oration
,
and
had
with
all
kynde
of
assurances
and
othes
knytte
vnto
him
felowes
of
his
furie
,
to
go
forthe
with
theyre
wicked
and
vengeable
enterpryse
,
he
powred
wyne

in
a

,
and
firste
he
beganne
:
and
after
gaue
it
to
hys
felowes
to
drinke

Some
other
wryters
haue
added
hereunto
,
that
this
confideracie
was
not
onelye
concluded
wythe
mannes
bloude
,
but
also
it
was
stablyshed
and
con●yrmed
withe
the
fastinge
of
the
flesshe
of
a
certayne
man
,
that
Catiline
had
slayne
.
And
they
say
,
he
dyd
it
for
this
consideracion
,
that
throughe
suche
a
cruell
deede
they
shulde
be
the
more
faythfull
one
to
an
other
.
Some
other
consideringe
the
great
cruelnesse
of
the
dede
,
thinke
it
is
but
a
feyned
matter
,
and
incredible
.
But
I
am
not
onlye
sone
perswaded
,
to
thynke
that
it
was
so
done
,
but
also
I
deme
hym
not
to
haue
doone
that
,
to
the
entente
that
they
shulde
be
the
more
faythful
among
them selfe
But
I
beleue
,
he
dyd
it
,
to
reache
the
conspiratoures
by
example
,
the
maner
and
vse
of
wilde
beastes
,
of
whiche
there
are
none
more
cruel
and
mortal
then
they
(
as
men
saye
)
whiche
haue
ones
tasted
mannes
fleshe
.
So
likewise
,
whan
they
had
ones
take
a
taste
of
mannes
bloud
,
there
shuld
be
no
enterprise
so
fierse
and
fel
,
nor
no
dede
so
cruel
,
that
they
ought
to
feare
and
abhorre
to
do
.
And
to
beleue
this
thinge
,
that
I
lerned
of
a
certayne
greate
auctour
induceth
me
:
how
Catiline
was
borne
in
hand
by
southesayers
,
that
a
certaine
Egle
or
standarde
of
Siluer
,
that
C.
Maryus
had
in
the
warres
agaynste
the
Cimbrians
,
was
predestinate
to
be
the
destruction
and
ruine
of
the
common
weale
:
to
the
whiche
,
as
we
rede
,
he
erected
aulters
,
and
ordeyned
and
oratorye
at
home
in
his
house
,
and
was
wonte
to
worshyppe
it
is
a
godly
thynge
,
whan
he
wente
in
hande
with
any
enterprise
.
O
crueltie
that
neuer
was
harde
of
before
those
dayes
,
that
there
shulde
be
than
some

IN
THE
MEANE
whyle
,
when
they
wente
to
electe
newe
consuls
,
there
came
foorthe
.vij.
that
desyred
to
bee
consulles
,
of
the
whiche
,
twoe
were
descended
of
noble
linage
,
L.
Catiline
,
and
P.
Galba
:
Foure
were
meaner
personnes
,
of
the
whiche
,
two
were
moore
noble
.
C.
Antonius
,
the
sonne
of
the
moste
wittye
and
eloquent
Oratour
M.
Antonius
,
L.
Cassus
Longinus
,
that
was
amonge
them
at
the
foresayde
vngratious
assemblye
:
Q
,
Cornificius
C.
Licinius
sacerdos
:
and
oone
of
theym
a
knyghtes
sonne
borne
,
M.
Tullius
Cicero
,
the
whiche
in
noble
birthes
was
inferioure
to
the
other
,
but
in
wytte
,
counsayle
,
eloquence
,
and
stoutenesse
of
stomacke
,
he
far
passed
them
all
.
When
this
man
through
the
great
fouour
,
good
wyll
,
and
loue
of
the
people
,
had
bene
Tresourer
,
Gardian
of
the
temples
,
and
Mayre
,
as
his
age
serued
him
,
thoughe
he
were
a
newe
gentylman
,
yet
hauynge
truge
in
his
vertuous
demeanoure
,
beganne
to
require
the
consulshyp
.
For
before
that
tyme
the
nobilitie
kepte
that
dignitie
with
strength
and
wisedome
to
them selfe
.
Nor
there
was
no
newe
gentleman
consull
of
a
longe
season
before
.
But
of
these
.vij.
Cassius
,
Galba
,
Cornificius
,
and
Licinius
were
slower
in
requiring
the
consulshyp
then
they
made
for
.
But
Catiline
hauing
great
hope
to
be
consull
,
ranne
frome
tribe
to
tribe
,
and
called
vpon
and
went
in
hande
with
all
those
that
vsed
at
eleccion
of
the
hyghe
officers
to
deale
money
,
and
gyue
rewardes
on
the
behalfe
of
the
noble
men
,
and
he
despised
M.
Tully
Cicero
,
and
denyed
that
a
straunger
myghte
striue
with
hym
before
an
egall
iudge
:
he
tooke
Antonius
as
his
felowe
in
office
,
and
not
as
one
that
stroue
with
hym
to
be
consull
.
For
they
two
were
agreed
together
to
shyfte
Cicero
beside
the
consulshyp
,
throughe
the
assured
helpe
of
M.
Crassus
and
C.
Ceaser
.
Ambicion
was
extremely
in
vre
in
those
dayes
.
For
Catiline
and
Antonius
dyd
all
that
they
coulde
wyth
exceadinge
greate
gyftes
and
rewardes
,
too
come
to
the
consulshyppe
.
Wherefore
throughe
the
perswasion
that
Cicero
made
there
vpon
in
the
senate
house
,
the
Senatoures
decreed
that
a
newe
lawe
shulde
be
made
againste
ambicion
,
and
the
penalte
thereof
augmented
.
And
because
Q.
Mutius
Oressinus
the
profectour
of
the
commontie
wolde
haue
letted
this
decree
to
go
forthe
,
to
the
sore
and
greuouse
displeasure
of
the
Senatoures
:
Cicero
rose
vp
and
ryghte
sharpelye
rebuked
Q.
Mutius
:
and
vehementlye
inuehed
againste
L.
Catiline
and
C.
Antonius
,
with
manye
and
fauorable
murmuracions
of
the
hole
senate
therunto
.
And
in
that
same
oracion
,
spekynge
vnto
Catiline
(
the
whiche
a
fewe
dayes
before
,
was
by
preuaricacion
and
falsehod
quite
of
pelye
theft
)
he
prophecied
and
saide
:
O
thou
wretche
,
that
doste
not
perceiue
that
thou
were
not
clerely
quite
and
deliuered
by
that
iudgemente
,
but
reserued
to
suffer
a
sharper
and
more
greuous
punyshment
.
And
at
the
very
same
tyme
of
eleccion
,
a
rumoure
was
spredde
abrode
amonge
the
commons
,
that
certaine
citizens
were
confederate
and
agreed
together
,
to
oppresse
the
common
weale
,
and
to
murther
and
slee
the
Senatours
.
The
ground
and
begynner
of
this
rumoure
was
Q.
Curius
,
felowe
and
partener
of
all
theire
counsaylynges
,
the
whiche
kepte
paramoure
one
Fuluia
,
not
onely
a
ryghte
noble
but
also
a
notable
woman
.
This
man
beynge
hollye
geuen
to
bodelye
pleasure
,
ydlenes
,
and
vanities
,
to
the
intent
he
myghte
throughe
hope
of
the
conspiracie
allure
her
the
better
to
loue
and
fauoure
hym
,
he
tolde
to
her
all
the
counsayles
of
the
conspiratoures
.
Nowe
as
the
nature
of
women
is
,
the
whych
can
neyther
kepe
in
secrete
thinges
,
nor
hyde
priuities
,
and
rather
wyll
a
womanne
quenche
flame
in
a
burnynge
mouthe
,
than
keepe
counsayle
.
So
this
Fuluia
tolde
vnto
manye
and
diuers
,
all
that
euer
she
herde
of
Curius
,
withoute
namynge
anye
of
the
conspiratoures
.
This
thynge
holpe
and
greatlye
furthered
Cicero
to
bee
consull
.
For
all
that
desyred
to
saue
and
defend
the
common
weale
from
that
myschief
,
incontinent
went
and
stacke
to
Cicero
as
to
a
man
that
naturally
was
inclined
to
reste
and
peace
,
and
that
had
the
knoweledge
of
warfare
,
and
experience
in
all
other
kynde
of
businesse
.
Thus
than
when
it
came
to
the
election
Cicero
was
chosen
consul
with
suche
sauour
and
affection
of
all
the
people
,
as
fewe
of
the
nobilitie
had
ben
,
but
neuer
no
newe
gentlemanne
before
him
.
Antonius
had
a
fewe
mo
Centurians
than
Catiline
.
And
all
be
it
that
he
had
an
yll
name
,
for
in
Sillas
victorye
he
behaued
him selfe
cruellye
,
and
spoyled
and
pilled
the
countrey
of
Achaia
,
and
beinge
accused
therof
,
refused
to
come
and
make
answere
,
and
was
greatlye
indetted
to
diuers
men
,
and
finallye
for
his
dishonestie
was
by
the
senatours
remoued
and
put
out
of
the
Senate
:
yet
partly
bycause
the
other
desirers
of
the
consulshyp
waxed
slacke
,
as
I
saide
before
,
and
partelye
for
the
noble
remembraunce
and
worthye
renowne
of
his
father
,
he
was
better
fauoured
and
had
clerely
moo
handes
then
Catiline
Also
the
plaies
and
enterludes
furthered
gretly
Antonius
towarde
the
opteynyng
of
the
consulship
,
the
whiche
he
,
fyrste
of
al
the
Romaynes
,
made
moste
magnificently
and
richely
on
syluer
stages
:
whome
.
L
Murena
ensued
,
the
whiche
the
nexte
yeare
folowinge
caused
the
playes
to
be
made
before
the
peple
with
most
gay
and
gorgiouse
apparayle
,
and
also
with
syluer
stages
.
Those
playes
maruaylously
delyted
the
people
.
And
althoughe
Cicero
,
that
moste
excellent
lerned
man
was
far
distant
from
the
opinion
of
the
common
people
(
whiche
also
made
thre
playes
in
the
time
of
his
edileship
)
yet
he
sayde
,
that
he
alsoo
had
a
siluer
stage
,
that
required
to
haue
the
consulshyp
.
But
the
furye
of
Catyline
althoughe
his
peticion
tooke
no
place
dimynished
not
,
but
dayly
made
greate
preparation
he
assayed
and
solicited
manye
thinges
,
he
appointed
armoure
in
dyuers
partes
of
Italye
that
were
oportune
for
his
purpose
.
He
sente
C.
Manlius
a
braynsycke
bolde
man
of
his
band
into
Hetruria
,
to
styrre
vp
Sillas
soludiours
and
to
prepare
〈◊〉
armye
,
and
he
commanded
hym
to
be
redy
in
armes
〈◊〉
daye
of
Nouembre
.
And
sayde
,
that
for
as
moche
as
fortune
dyd
ofte
greately
helpe
in
chosinge
of
the
consuls
,
he
wolde
yet
ones
againe
the
next
yeare
desire
and
make
labour
to
be
consull
:
and
in
the
meane
tyme
to

awayt
to
attrappe
,
Cicero
,
&
to
prepare
to
murther
and
sle
the
noble
men
of

.
And
within
a
fewe
monthes
after
L.
Lucullus
,
that
most
noble
man
,
&
that
to
speake
in
his
cause
was
moste
prompt
and
redye
,
accused
hym
amonge
the
murtherers
,
but
through
the
helpe
of
manye
noble
men
,
and
by
the
sentence
and
iudgement
of
a
greate
nombre
,
he
was

This

that
warred
agaynste

:
from
the
whiche
warre
he
returninge
home
as
conqueroure
,
throughe
detraction
of
his
ennemies
was
let
from
his
triumphe
by
the
space
of
thre
yeres
,
but
by
the
worthy
ayde
and
diligence
of
Cicero
in
hys
consulshyp
,
he
syttynge
in
a
chare
mooste
noble
and
ryche
,
was
tryumphantly
conueyed

And

was
afterwarde
mooste

and

to

,
to
quenche
this
ferefull
firebrande
of
conspiracye

But
after
that
Cicero
had
the
firste
daye
of
Ienuary
taken
on
hym
the
rule
and
goueraaunce
of
the
common

,
(

THE

intended
fullye
to
take

to

amende
manye

that
were

And
when

manye
troublous
counsayles
agaynste

of
the

were

to

to

what

Thus
moste
diligently
serchynge
and
inquiringe
out
the
grounde
of
this
rumour
,
he
founde
,
that
it
came
out
fyrste
by
Fuliua
and
priuely
he
sente
for
her
to
come
and
speake
with

,
to

shulde
enforme

she

thretned

:
that
without

dyd
open

wolde
constrayne

After
that
Fuluya
had
tolde

that

incontinent

be
broughte
to

that
D.
Curius
opened

hym
all

Then
Cicero
exhorted

to
dissemble

as

so
sente
hym
away
in
greate
hope

But

that

C.
Antonius
,
and
reconciled

chiualrye
of
Rome
to
the
fauour
of
the
Senatours
.
Cap.
x.
THAN
BY
auctorytie
of
the
Senatoures
,
the
prouince
of
Fraunce
was
decreed
too
Cicero
,
the
cause
and
matter
of
triumphes
,
with
an
armye
and
moneye
appoynted
and
furnyshed
at
the
ful
.
But
he
deemed
it
farre
better
for
the
common
weale
,
if
he
coulde
deliuer
it
frome
the
snares
and
deceytes
at
home
,
than
if
he
shulde
subdue
that
prouince
to
the
publike
weale
,
for
the
vertue
is
no
greatter
to
enlarge
the
marches
of
the
empire
,
than
to
defend
them
that
were
al
redy
won
.
Nor
the
prayses
of
warre
are
no
greatter
then
the
ciuil
policies
,
for
these
consiste
in
counsayle
and
wisedome
,
the
other
stand
in
the
handes
of
fortune
.
Wherfore
the
consull
,
assembled
a
greate
multitude
together
,
sayde
¶
Bycause
the
time
and
nede
of
the
comman
weale
so
required
it
,
he
wolde
not
take
on
hym
the
busynes
of
Fraunce
.
And
leste
that
his
companyon
shoulde
hyndre
hym
in
defendynge
the
common
weale
,
by
hys
wisedome
brought
about
,
that
the
busynes
of
Fraunce
was
appyonted
to
Antonius
.
For
if
Cicero
had
not
at
that
time
bi
some
honorable
meanes
remoued
Antonius
from
counsaylynge
with
Catiline
,
and
from
the
citie
,
I
shal
saye
as
I
thynke
,
of
trouth
the
conspiracie
had
not
ben
quenched
without
great
effusion
of
bloud
.
And
bycause
he
saw
,
that
Catiline
laye
dayly
in
awayte
to
attrappe
hym
:
he
went
alwaye
well
and
strongely
accompanyed
withe
his
frendes
and
vsed
also
and
had
aboute
hym
the
safegarde
of
his
lyfe
a
pyked
sorte
of
lustye
yonge
men
of
Aretta
.
Furthermore
he
made
agrement
betwene
the
knyghtes
of
Rome
,
and
the
Senatoures
,
with
concorde
beinge
at
al
times
moche
necessarye
,
was
in
that
troublous
season
of
the
common
weale
,
moste
nedeful
and
expedient
.
For
before
that
tyme
,
the
seperatinge
of
the
chiualrie
or
gentylmen
,
from
the
senatours
,
caused
manye
yeres
moste
greuouse
contencion
and
strife
betwene
them
.
For
where
as
is
diuision
and
part
taking
in
a
common
weale
,
there
muste
nedes
folowe
not
only
sedicion
,
but
also
moste
pestilent
warres
amonge
them selues
.
Nor
I
maruaile
not
at
all
that
Catiline
wente
aboute
to
trouble
the
common
weale
,
seinge
he
was
of
nature
inclyned
,
and
withe
soo
manye
occasions
styrred
and
inflamed
therto
.
This
also
made
for
hym
,
that
euen
the
same
tyme
,
theyr
children
that
were
banished
came
forthe
and
required
the
honorable
roumes
and
offices
:
whiche
if
they
had
opteyned
,
it
was
thought
of
trouthe
they
wolde
haue
conspired
with
Catiline
.
And
therfore
the
Consull
,
vppon
his
owne
hatred
,
without
promyse
of
rewarde
,
kepte
them
from
election
.
¶
When
all
this
was
done
,
the
consull
thoughte
it
yet
no
tyme
to
disclose
and
open
the
conspiracie
before
the
Senatoures
.
Therefore
hee
not
with
the
publike
ayde
and
strengthe
,
but
with
his
priuate
diligence
,
defend●d
and
kepte
hym selfe
from
Catilines
wyses
and
snares
:
and
dayly
wythstode
and
fordyd
his
driftes
,
abated
his
boldenes
and
courage
,
and
resisted
his
mischeuous
purp●●e
,
withoute
publyke
ruffelinge
or
steryng
of
the
people
.
But
the
more
prouision
that
the
consull
made
,
the
more
conspiracie
grewe
and
increased

TRVELY
there
was
no
streete
,
no
corner
in
all
the
cytie
,

Catiline
instanted
,
prouoked
,
tempted

.
And
to
opteyne

,
he
suffered
colde

But
speciallye
hee
entyced

youthe
.
Some
of
them
he
hym selfe
loued
:
and
to
somes
loue
he
was
ryght
seruiseable
,
for
some
he
prepared
and
gotte
harlottes
,
and
for
some

hee
taughte

the
feates
of

,
some
hee
wanne
wyth

,
but
many
mo
with

And

diligence
and

wolde
by
littell

into

those
,
wyth
whome

Catiline
(
as
sayde
is
)
was
maruaylous
subtyle
and
crafty
,
to
styre
yonge
men
to
luste
and
pleasure
:
wherwith
not

whiche
is

vncertayne

also

of
auncientie

are
attached
,
with
this
his
varyable
nature
,
he
dayly
augmented
the
nombre
of
the
conspiratours
.
¶
And
I
am
well
assured
,
that
Catiline
at
that
tyme
dyd
not
onely
allure
men
to
that
myscheuouse
dede
,
but
also
he
made
of
counsayle

certayne
noble
women
which
had
liued
wantonly

prodigallye
,
voluptously

For

or
elles
to

those
that
wolde

Besydes
al

he

Nor

letted
not

busynsses
to
set

beinge

How
Cicero
opened
the
conspiracy
before
the
Senatours
Cap.
xii
.
THAN
the
consull
consideringe
theese
two
myschiefes
,
that
hee
coulde
noo
longer
by
his
priuate
diligence
defende
the
common
weale
,
and
howe
peryllous
it
were
for
the
common
weale
of
Catiline
shulde
be
consull
:
determyned
to
enforme
the
Senatoures
of
the
matter
,
to
prorogue
the
election
of
officers
,
and
to
make
Catiline
hated
for
his
conspiracie
wherby
he
shulde
be
hyndered
in
his
requeste
of
consulshyp
.
For
rumours
,
yea
thoughe
they
be
false
,
and
a
feyned
tale
troubleth
all
to gether
and
changeth
holye
the
opinion
of
the
electoures
.
Thus
when
they
were
assembled
in
parliament
,
he
instructed
them
,
how
Catiline
and
other
,
assocyate
withe
hym
in
that
mischiefe
and
madde
dede
,
were
secretly
agreed
to
oppresse
the
common
weale
,
to
slee
the
Senatours
and
murther
the
citizens
.
Than
was
it
decreed
,
that
on
the
morowe
shulde
be
none
election
to
th
ende
they
mought
in
parliament
treate
of
these
matters
.
¶
On
the
morowe
,
the
consull
opened
in
the
parlyamente
house
manye
thynges
of
the
conspiracye
:
and
demaunded
Catiline
,
if
he
wolde
oughte
saye
,
touchinge
those
matters
,
that
were
layed
to
his
charge
.
But
Catiline
,
althoughe
he
were
full
of
all
fraude
and
lyinge
,
and
whiche
with
greate
diligence
and
craft
augmented
those
vices
,
vnto
whiche
he
was
naturally
inclined
:
yet
beinge
pricked
withe
his
conscience
,
dyd
not
soo
moche
clere
and
purge
,
as
he
opened
and
shewed
hym self
fauty
.
¶
But
the
Senate
at
that
tyme
vsed
great
myldnes
,
or
rather
pacience
,
that
wolde
not
,
concerninge
those
matters
decre
any
thynge
againste
Catiline
:
namelye
sythe
he
a
fewe
daies
before
whan
Cato
(
the
perpetuall
ennemie
of
dishonest
and
naughty
persons
)
thretned
hym
to
be
punyshed
,
aunswered
and
saide
:
If
there
weere
any
fire
prepared
to
burne
his
goodes
,
he
wolde
not
quench
it
with
water
,
but
with
ruine
.
But
therefore
they
were
not
harde
to
hym
,
partely
because
they
dradde
nothyng
,
partely
because
they
dradde
,
and
partelye
because
some
fauoured
hym
.
Yet
I
harde
say
that
this
rumour
spred
abrode
in
the
citye
,
dyd
greatelye
hynder
Catiline
in
requeste
of
the
consulshyppe
,
althoughe
manye
supposed
it
to
be
false
.
¶
In
the
meane
whyle
,
the
tyme
instantynge
to
choose
the
consuls
,
Catiline
hauing
prepared
a
greate
companye
(
as
it
semed
)
determined
if
he
weere
not
elected
consull
,
to
make
a
slaughter
in
the
fielde
,
and
to
slee
hys
Competitors
,
¶
After
Catiline
perceyued
he
coulde
not
be
consull
to
trouble
and
vexe
the
common
weale
,
¶
More
ouer
he
diligently
admonished
the
Senatoures
to
be
ware
of
such
perylles
that
were
iminent
,
to
prouide
for
the
safegarde
of
theyr
countrey
,
to
defende
and
mainteine
the
common
weale
,
For
if
they
made
not
good
prouision
,
it
was
not
the
publycacyon
of
the
lawe
Agraria
,
nor
a
common
sedition
,
or
suche
a
hurte
as
beinge
some
tyme
harde
spokenne
of
,
is
lamented
but
those
felowes
haue
secretelye
concluded
,
te
burne
this
citye
,
to
mourder
and
slee
the
citizens
,
and
to
ex●incte
the
Romaynes
names
,
He
sayde
,
there
was
no
nation
,
no
kynge
,
that
was
able
to
make
warre
to
the
Romaynes
:
there
was
not
outwarde
danger
to
be
dredde
:
within
the
citye
were
the
snares
layde
,
within
was
the
pestilence
shutte
within
was
the
Troyan
horse
,
of
whiche
so
longe
as
he
was
consul
,
they
shulde
neuer
be
oppressed
slepynge
:
he
saide
theyre
ennemyes
were
not
at
the
gates
(
whiche
were
a
thynge
moste
greuous
)
but
in
the
citie
,
in
the
markette
place
in
the
palays
.
After
this
he
shewed
howe
thys
great
mischiefe
myghte
be
remedyed
.
Finallye
he
admonished
the
conspiratoures
to
leaue
theyr
furyousnesse
,
to
laye
noo
mo
snares
for
his
distruction
,
and
noo
more
to
mynde
murders
,
burninges
,
robberyes
:
and
to
perswade
them selfe
that
the
consuls
were
righte
vigilante
about
the
common
weale
,
and
that
there
were
many
noble
officers
,
manye
valyent
and
worthy
men
,
and
suche
as
moste
hartely
loued
the

,
whiche
wold
more
sharpely
do
theyr
endeuour
for

profyt
publike
,
then
they
wolde
for
the
d●struction
therof
:
and
that
they
shulde
trust
no

vpon
the
slaughterr
of
riche
men
,
so
longe
as
he
was
consull
,
For

And
that
now
it

AL
be
it
that
there
were
manye
,
that
gaue
no
credence
to
the
consulles
wordes
for
the
greatnesse
of
the
cryme
,
and
manye
throughe

coude
not
thynke
it
to
be
so
,
and
manye
of
the
leude
and
naughtye
sorte
fauoured
the
matter
:
yet
the
Senate
perswaded
by
certayne
noble
and
valiant
menne
,
made
a
decree
,
that
the
consuls
shoulde
take
hede
,
that
the
common
weale
toke
none
harme
.
This
decree
was
not
wonte
to
be
made
,
but
agaynste
detestable
lawes
,
whan
the
people
was
moued
to
departe
and
leaue
the
citie
,
whan
the
citie
was
in
greate
trouble
and
busynes
or
in
feare
of
sedicion
.
And
by
that
one
verse
or
decree
the
greattest
power
of
all
Rome
was
gyuen
to
the
consuls
as
to
reyse
an
armye
:
to
make
warre
,
and
to
be
the
mooste
hyghe
iudges
in

,
as
well
at

as

in

Whan
the

came
,
by

had
layed
a

the

Catiline
coude
not
accomplishe
his

.
He
quickelye
bethoughte
hym
to
doo
an
other
feate
.
The
towne
preneste
standynge
not
farre
from
Rome
is
by
naturall
situacion
of
the
place
verye
stronge
:
the
same
,
for
many
oportunities
of
the
warre
,
Catiline
purposed
the
fyrste
daye
of
Nouembre
,
to
take
with
assaut
in
the
nighte
.
But
the
consull
,
forseinge
that
in
his
mynde
,
furnysshed
that
fortresse
strongely
with
men
of
armes
Wherfore
Catiline
enterprysed
that
feate
in
vaine
.
But
afore
that
there
chaunced
a
thynge
(
I
thynke
,
euen
by
the
goodnesse
of

)
the
whiche
some
what
troubled
Catlines

.
For
G.
Piso
(
of

we
spake

in
whome
Catilyne
had
greatest
confidence
and
hope
of

:
was
slayne
of
certayne
Spanyarde
horse
men
or
,
as
some
other
saye
he
was
kild
by
Pompeys
horse
men
.
And
hard
it
was
to
iudge
whether
his
deathe
was
more
ioyful
and
pleasaunt
to
good
men
,
or
heuy
and
sorowful
to
the
conspiratours

broughte

Of

For

Whan
those
newes
were
harde
at
Rome
,
all
the

was
troubled
,
ful
of
heuynesse
,
ful
of
feare
.
There
was
none
euell
,
none
aduersitie
but
good
men
feared
it
,
and
the
leude
and
euil
sorte
loked
for
it
.
The
thretnynge
wordes
of
Catiline
were
borne
and
spoken
of
al
aboute
his
lookes
,
his
runninge
vp
and
downe
,
his
riottous
route
about
hym
,
his
cloustringe
together
of
most
leud
and
naughty
persons
,
caused
greate
drede
and
sedition
in
the
citye
.
The
ciuile
dessentions
,
that
had
ben

,
were
freshe
in
euery
mans

,
the

the

heaped
full

deade
bodyes
,
and
ouer
flowen
with
bloude
,
the
memorie
of
those
thynges
made
the
citie
sorowfull
,
and
to
lyue
in
great
feare
.
The
prodigies
,
and
wonderfull
tokens
that
felle
,
augmented
the
feare
of
the
people
.
For
it
was
reported
,
that
M.
Herennius
,
a
free
man
of
Rome
made
by
Pompey
,
was
in
a
fayre
clere
daye
slayne

In
the
nighte
tymes

of

there
was
harde
noyse
and
clatteringe
of
harnyes
thunder
clappes
,
and
horyble
erthequakes
,
wyth
manyeny
other
terryble

For

fayled
in

and
the

shone
moche
brighter
and
hotter
than

Thus
writerh

in

.
More

and

and

dyd
pronostycate
and

But
yet
the

troubled

For

the

immortall
,
and
of
the
aunciente
noble

were
ouerthrowen
with

and
also
the
image

Romulus
with
his

And
soo
they
commaunded

Therfore

,
and
the
consull
verye
circumspecte
and
diligente
to
make
prouision
to
withstande
hym
:
yet
he
prepared
and
attempted
his
purpose
,
his
cruell
mynde
was
stil
occupied
thervppon
,
But
he
did
nothinge
,
he
pursued
nothinge
,
he
wente
about
or
pretended
nothynge
,
but
M.
Cicero
knewe
it
,
and
dyd
lette
it
:
yet
for
al
that
he
woulde
not
cesse
to
folowe
hys
wycked
will
and
purpose
.
Such
a
greate
fury
,
the
companion
of
mischiefe
and
audacitie
,
had
embraced
his
vnbridled
minde
and
importune
nature
,
that
no
dreede
,
no
reason
,
no
peryll
,
none
aduersitie
,
nor
all
thinges
that
went
ageinste
hym
,
coude
make
him
reuoke
his
vehemente
desire
.
Therefore
when
he
,
this
hopeloste
,
sawe
that
none
of
his
attemptates
went
forward
,
he
thought
now
to
proue
what
he
coulde
do
apertlye
and
by
open
warre
:
for
those
thynges
,
that
he
had
attempted
priuely
,
came
foule
and
crokedlye
to
passe
.
He
determyned
to
take
his
iourney
to
Manlyus
and
to
augmente
the
army
,
before
the
Pretours
had
gathered
theyr
strengthe
togther
:
and
withe
baners
displayed
to
haste
theym
to
the
citye
.
¶
And
soo
in
the
deade
tyme
of
the
nighte
he
assembled
together
in
the
house
of
M.
Lecca
,
all
the
chiefe
of
the
conspiracy
,
to
councel
with
them
,
how
this
warre
shuld
be
maynteyned
,
This
nighte
of
all
times
was
mooste
sharpe
and
bitter
.
Than
all
the
partes
and
prouinces
of
Italie
were
distributed
,
than
the
daye
that
Catiline
shulde
take
his
iourneie
to
the
armye
,
was
appoynted
,
than
they
ordered
,
in
what
state
all
other
shulde
stande
that
remayned
behynd
,
than
they
constituted
a
description
throughe
al
the
citie
of
slaughter
and
burninge
.
But
those
thynges
were
after
this
maner
and
fourme
diuided
amonge
them
:
that
Catiline
shoulde
take
his
iourney
to
the
army
.
That
Antonius
shulde
take
and
posses
Tuscayne
Marcus
Ceparius
Apulia
,
C.
Marcellus
Capua
,
and
other
shulde
haue
other
places
of
Italie
Lentulus
shuld
remayne
in
the
citye
Cassius
and
Statilius
shulde
set
fyre
on
.xij
,
partes
of
the
citie
,
Cetegus
,
and
with
hym
Gabinius
shoulde
haue
the
procurement
of
the
murther
and
slaughter
that
shulde
bee
done
,
The
nighte
that
they
intended
to
accomplisshe
these
thinges
they
ordeined
also
that
whan
Catiline
with
his
armie
shulde
approche
the
citie
.
L.
Beastia
shuld
make
an
oracion
to
stere
the
people
to
the
enuye
and
hatred
of
Cicero
,
bycause
he
hadde
worthfully
prouoked
Catiline
to
reyse
warre
,
and
by
that
token
,
the
same
nyght
folowinge
,
euery
man
shulde
go
about
hys
busynesse
.
These
thynges
thus
ordeyned
and
done
,
Catiline
saide
,
one
thynge
letted
hym
moche
,
that
Cicero
lyued
:
and
that
his
mynde
and
wil
was
,
before
he
tooke
his
iourneye
to
the
armye
,
to
oppresse
hym
:
for
with
his
wytte
and
counsell
he
wolde
be
a
greate
lette
and
hynderaunce
to
them
.
Than
C.
Cornelius
,
and
L.
Vargunteius
,
knightes
of
Rome
desyred
that
they
might
haue
the
doinge
therof
,
and
promysed
that
they
wolde
go
erelye
in
the
mornyng
to
salute
hym
,
and
so
for
good
loue
and
amitie
beinge
let
in
,
they
wolde
sle
hym
in
his
bed
But
the
consull
,
hauynge
knowledge
of
this
thynge
by
Q.
Curius
,
fortified
and
fenced
his
house
with
greate
strengthe
of
men
:
and
kepte
his
gates
shutte
agaynste
theym
that
came
to
slee
hym
in
the
morninge
.
Some
write
that
it
was
not
L.
Vargunteyus
,
but
C.
Cethegus
with
C.
Cornelius
,
that
vndertoke
to
slee
the
consull
.
But
it
appereth
in
Saluste
and
Cicero
,
that
they
erre
in
thys
,
as
they
do
in
many
other
thynges
¶
Whan
the
conspiratoures
had
orneyned
,
instituted
,
and
prepared
those
thynges
,
the
consulles
myndes
was
troubled
with
wante
great
and
greuous
thoughts
whithe
wolde
not
suffer
hym
to
take
rest
neyther
night
nor
daye
.
Fyrst
he
was
verye
careful
how
he
myghte
defende
the
common
weale
,
whiche
was
at
that
tyme
a
great
thing
and
right
diffieile
seinge
he
had
to
do
with
a
man
so
valiante
,
so
vehement
,
so
cruel
,
so
wylye
and
so
watchfull
aboute
myschiefe
.
Secondly
he
was
careful
for
the
treason
and
snares
,
that
were
daylye
so
dyuysed
and
layde
for
hym
,
that
it
semed
they
coulde
by
no
meanes
be
eschewed
for
the
secrete
and
hid
hatreds
¶
Cicero
and
Catiline
in
the
Senate
.
Cap.
xvii
.
SO
THE
nexte
daye
after
that
he
was
almooste
slayne
at
home
in
his
house
,
he
assembled
the
Senatoures
in
the
temple
of
Iupiter
Stator
:
and
dysclosed
to
theym
all
the
matter
:
whether
whan
Catiline
was
come
,
whether
it
were
to
auoyde
suspition
,
or
eiles
to
clere
hym selfe
,
no
man
saluted
hym
,
And
more
ouer
many
of
the
Senatours
,
on
that
syde
that
he
came
,
forsoke
theyre
seates
,
and
lefte
theym
voyde
and
bare
.
Than
M.
Tullius
thoughte
it
beste
with
an
oration
(
wherin
he
waas
excelent
)
to
feare
and
abashe
hym
,
and
to
commaunde
hym
to
departe
out
of
the
cite
:
thinkynge
this
in
his
mynde
,
that
if
al
the
conspiratours
with
Catiline
wolde
departout
of
the
citie
,
they
might
be
easely
subdued
abrode
:
or
if
they
taryed
behynde
,
without
Catiline
,
they
shuld
be
but
weake
and
feble
.
For
Catiline
alone
in
the
city
was
dredefull
.
He
serched
out
all
thynges
,
he
most
diligently
prouided
all
thynges
:
he
knewe
howe
to
preuente
,
to
begyle
,
to
deceyue
,
to
dissemble
,
to
attempte
,
to
sollicyetate
,
to
perswade
,
to
mooue
,
to
watche
,
to
laboure
,
to
trouble
,
for
the
while
,
and
to
wreste
and
bow
hither
and
thyther
.
He
appoynted
euery
one
of
the
conspiratoures
certayne
busynes
to
do
:
but
yet
whan
he
had
commaunded
any
thynge
to
be
done
,
he
thoughte
it
was
not
accomplysshed
,
excepte
he
him selfe
ouersawe
all
thyngsges
,
he
ranne
aboute
he
made
prouysyon
.
So
that
if
the
consul
had
not
dryuen
hym
oute
of
the
citye
,
surely
the
common
weale
had
suffred
great
calamyty
.
Some
may
w●ll
say
:
Wherfore
than
dyd
not
the
consull
apprehend
and
take
hym
?
why
dydde
he
not
put
hym
to
deathe
?
I
answere
.
Bycause
he
thought
it
not
profytable
.
For
excepte
it
were
a
fewe
good
men
,
all
wolde
saye
,
that
Cicero
had
not
done
nobly
but
cruellye
:
and
also
he
well
percyued
,
that
by
his
deathe
the
conspiracy
should
be
a
lytel
whyle
repressed
,
but
not
extincted
for
euer
:
for
being
oppressed
with
enuy
,
he
could
not
pursue
the
other
conspiratours
.
Therfore
for
these
causes
,
coueting
to
driue
Catiliine
out
of
the
citye
he
rose
vp
,
and
with
this
most
godly
oration
he
inuehed
ageinst
L.
Sergius
Catiline
¶
The
oration
of
M.T.
Cicero
ageynste
L.
Sergius
Catiline
.
HOw
longe
wilt
thou
o
Catiline
,
abuse
our
pacience
?
How
longe
shal
this
thy
fury
delude
vs
?
To
what
ende
shal
the
brag
of
thine
vnbridled
boldenesse
come
?
Do
not
the
nightelye
defences
of
the
Palaice
,
the
watchynge
of
the
citie
,
the
feare
of
the
people
,
the
concourse
and
agrement
of
good
men
,
this
most
stronge
place
of
the
Senate
,
the
regarde
and
countenaunce
of
these
men
nothynge
moue
the
?
Dost
thou
not
perceyue
that
thy
counsayle
is
bewrayed
?
Dost
thou
not
se
,
that
thy
conspiracye
is
openly
knowen
to
all
the
Senatours
?
Dost
thou
thinke
,
that
any
of
vs
is
ignorante
what
thou
dydst
the
laste
nyght
,
and
the
nighte
before
,
where
thou
waste
,
whome
thou
dydst
assemble
together
or
what
counsayle
thou
tokeste
?
Oh
what
a
worlde
is
this
?
Oh
what
maners
be
these
?
The
Senate
doth
vnderstande
this
thinge
,
the
consull
dothe
se
it
,
and
yet
he
lyueth
.
Liueth
he
?
Ye
verylye
,
he
commeth
also
into
the
parlyamente
house
,
and
is
parte
taker
of
the
common
counsayle
.
He
dothe
make
,
and
with
his
eies
dothe
appoynte
euery
on
of
vs
that
shall
be
slayne
.
And
we
seme
to
playe
the
men
for
the
common
weale
,
if
we
eschewe
the
fury
and
violence
of
this
man
.
Thou
oughtest
Catiline
longe
sence
to
haue
ben
put
to
deathe
by
the
commaundement
of
the
consull
,
Thys
pestilence
and
myschiefe
,
whiche
longe
ago
thou
dydst
imagin
ageynst
vs
shulde
haue
be
layde
vpon
thyne
owne
necke
.
If
the
noble
man
P.
Scipio
,
the
highe
byshoppe
,
and
a
priuate
man
,
slewe
Tiberius
Gracchus
,
meanelye
troublynge
the
state
of
the
common
weale
,
shall
we
the
Consulles
suffre
Catiline
,
whiche
desyreth
with
fyre
and
slaughter
to
destroye
the
hole
worlde
?
I
ouerpasse
the
olde
historyes
,
how
Q.
Tiberius
Hala
slewe
with
his
own
hand
Sp.
Aelius
that
wente
aboute
to
alter
the
common
weale
.
Suche
vertue
and
power
in
olde
time
was
in
this
common
weale
,
that
the
worthy
men
wolde
punish
a
pernicious
and
a
naughty
cytizen
more
sharply
,
than
a
cruell
ennemie
.
We
haue
agaynste
thee
Catiline
a
vehement
and
greuous
decre
,
wee
lacke
no
counsaile
,
wee
lacke
none
auctoritie
of
thys
hyghe
courte
,
concernynge
the
state
of
the
common
weale
:
But
we
the
consuls
,
wee
the
consuls
(
I
speake
it
openlye
)
be
to
slacke
in
this
matter
.
In
tyme
paste
the
Senate
decreed
,
that
L.
Opimius
the
consull
shulde
take
hede
that
the
common
weale
toke
no
damage
:
and
the
selfe
same
day
the
noble
borne
man
C.
Gracchus
was
slayne
,
for
certeyne
suspicions
of
a
sedicion
.
And
M.
Fuluius
,
whiche
had
ben
consull
was
slayne
with
hys
children
.
And
by
suche
another
decree
,
the
common
weale
was
committed
to
C.
Marius
and
L.
Valerius
the
consuls
.
Dyd
deathe
and
the
punyshement
of
the
common
weale
stay
L.
Saturnius
the
procectour
of
the
commontie
,
and
C.
Seruilius
one
daye
?
But
this
is
the
.xx.
daye
that
we
haue
suffered
the
sharpe
auctoritie
of
these
worthye
Senatours
to
waxe
dull
and
blunte
.
For
we
haue
a
lyke
decree
,
but
it
is
closed
vp
in
tables
,
and
as
it
were
put
vp
in
the
shethe
:
by
the
whiche
decree
of
the
Senatours
,
thou
Catiline
shuldest
forth
with
haue
ben
put
to
deathe
.
But
thou
arte
a
lyue
,
and
doste
lyue
,
not
to
cease
and
leaue
of
,
but
to
confyrme
and
increase
thy
boldenes
.
My
desyre
chosen
fathers
is
to
bee
courteise
and
mylde
,
but
it
is
not
my
desyre
in
so
great
ieopardi
of
the
common
weale
,
to
be
sene
dissolute
or
neglygente
.
Surely
I
do
nowe
condempne
my selfe
of
folye
and
wickednes
.
There
is
an
armye
in
Italy
reysed
vp
agaynste
the
common
weale
,
they
haue
pytched
at
Fesulas
in
Hetruria
.
The
noumbre
of
our
enemies
dothe
increase
daylye
more
and
more
.
But
the
chiefe
of
that
armye
,
and
capitaine
of
our
ennemies
,
ye
se
here
wythin
the
walles
:
yea
in
the
senate
,
dayely
imaginynge
some
greate
myschiefe
againste
the
common
weale
.
If
I
(
o
Catilyne
)
shulde
commande
the
to
be
taken
and
put
to
death
,
I
nede
not
to
doubte
,
but
that
all
good
men
wolde
saye
,
that
I
were
rather
to
slowe
than
to
cruel
in
thys
deede
.
Neuerthelesse
,
it
that
oughte
to
haue
ben
doone
longe
sence
,
I
am
not
yet
(
for
certeyne
skyll
)
determined
to
do
.
But
I
wolle
then
at
length
put
the
to
death
,
whan
there
shall
no
man
be
found
so
leud
,
so
farre
past
all
hope
,
nor
so
lyke
thee
in
condicions
,
the
whyche
wyll
not
plainlye
affirme
that
I
haue
doone
it
ryghteouslye
.
As
longe
as
there
is
anye
man
that
dare
defend
the
,
thou
shalt
liue
:
and
so
thou
shalt
liue
as
thou
lyuest
now
,
beset
about
wyth
my
manifold
and
sure
defences
,
that
thou
shalt
not
once
moue
or
stir
ageinste
the
common
weale
.
Also
many
eies
&
eares
shal
(
as
thei
haue
doone
styll
hitherto
)
warelye
watche
and
harken
what
thou
doest
and
sayeste
,
and
thou
not
perceiuynge
it
.
For
what
shuldest
thou
Catiline
yet
looke
for
?
if
neyther
the
obscuritie
and
darkenes
of
the
nyghte
can
hyde
thy
detestable
assembles
,
nor
no
priuate
house
with
his
wals
keepe
in
the
voice
of
thy
conspiracie
?
If
euerye
thynge
come
to
lyght
,
if
euery
thynge
burste
oute
,
change
nowe
thys
thy
mynde
,
geue
credence
to
me
,
forgette
the
murther
and
burnynge
,
that
thou
intendeste
.
Wee
vnderstande
and
knowe
all
thy
secrete
workynges
and
imaginacions
.
If
thou
haste
forgot
,
I
wol
put
thee
in
mind
of
them
.
Doest
thou
not
remembre
that
I
sayd
in
the
senate
the
.xij.
kalendes
of
Nouember
,
that
by
a
certayne
daye
(
whiche
shulde
bee
the
.ix.
kalendes
of
Nouember
)
C.
Manlius
the
manne
of
garde
and
chiefe
dooer
in
thy
bolde
enterprise
,
wolde
be
in
harneys
?
Was
I
deceiued
Catiline
,
eyther
in
the
thynge
,
whiche
is
so
greate
,
soo
cruell
,
and
so
incredible
or
elles
in
the
daye
?
I
sayd
farthermore
in
the
senate
,
that
thou
hadste
determined
to
murder
the
noble
men
the
.v.
kalendas
of
Nouembre
,
euen
than
whan
many
of
the
chiefe
rulers
were
fled
from
Rome
,
not
so
moche
for
theyr
owne
sauegarde
,
as
to
represse
and
withstande
thy
detestable
enterprise
.
Canste
thou
deny
,
but
that
(
throughe
my
strength
,
prouision
,
and
diligence
)
thou
were
so
beset
on
all
sydes
,
that
thou
coudeste
not
ones
sturre
or
moue
ageynst
the
common
weale
,
whan
thou
saydst
,

If

oughte

althoughe

not

what

it
that
thou
yeldest
thy selfe

To
what
intente
saidest
,
that
to
auoide
suspicion
thou
woldest
dwel
wyth
M.
Lepidus
?
And
when
he
wold
not
receiue
the

thou
camste
boldlye
to
me
:
and
desiredst
that
thou
myghteste
bee
kepte
at
home
in
myne
house
.
And
whan
thou
hadst
of
me
also
receyued
this
answere
,
that
I
coude
in
no
wyse
be
in
safegard
with
the
in
one
house
together
,
that
am
in
greate
peryll
,
because
wee
be
bothe
within
one

:
thou
camst
to
Q.
Metellus
the
maire
,
and
beyng
reiected
of
hym
,
thou
wentest
to
thy
companion
,
that
moste
worthye
man
M.
Marcellus
,
whome
thou
thoughteste
wolde
moste
diligently
kepe

most
sagely
intreate
for

and
moste
boldelye
gyue

But
howe
farre
out
of
pryson
and
bands
shulde
he
seme
to
be
,
the
whiche
alredy
iudgeth
hymself
worthy
to
be
in

?
Then
seynge
it
is
soo
Catiline
,
doutest
thou
(
if
thou
canste
not
here
remayne
in
quyete
)
to
go
into
some
other
countreye
,
and
commyt
this
thy

escaped

many
iuste
and
due
punyshmentes
▪
to

Thou
sayeste
:
Put
it
to
the
Senate

Doest
thou
desire
me
?
And
if
it
please
the
Senate
to
decree
that
thou
be
banyshed
,
sayeste
thou
that
thou
wylte
obey
?
Nay
,
I
wyll
not
referre
it
to
them
:
for
that
is
contrarye
and
ageinste
my
nature
:
but
yet
I
wyll
cause
the
to
vnderstand
,
what
they
deme
of
the.
Get
the
out
of
the
cytie
Catiline
:
deliuer
the
common
weale
from
feare
:
go
into
exile
,
if
thou
loke
to
hear
this
word
spoken
.
What
is
the
matter
Catiline
?
Why
dooeste
thou
tarye
?
what
,
doeste
thou
not
marke
the
sylence
of
those
?
They
suffer
,
they
holde
theyr
peace
.
Why
doeste
thou
looke
for
the
auctoritie
of
them
,
speakynge
,
whan
by
keepinge
of
silence
,
thou
knoweste
their
wyll
and
mynde
?
But
if
I
shulde
haue
saide
as
muche
to
thys
noble
yonge
manne
P.
Sextius
,
or
to
the
moste
myghtie
man
M.
Marcellus
:
the
senatours
wolde
(
and
that
lawfully
)
haue
laide
violent
handes
vpon
me
the
consull
,
yea
beynge
in
thys
temple
.
But
as
touching
thee
Catiline
,
whan
they
be
in
quiet
,
they
approue
,
when
the
suffer
,
they
decerne
:
whan
they
holde
their
peace
,
they
crye
aloude
.
Nor
they
onely
whose
autorite
is
so
noble
,
or
whose
life
most
profitable
,
but
also
those
ryght
worshypfull
knightes
&
honest
gentlemen
of
Rome
,
yea
and
other
most
valiaunt
cityzens
,
whiche
enuiron
and
stand
about
the
Senate
,
whose
oft
and
great
resorte
hither
,
whose
fauoure
and
affections
,
and
whose
woordes
thou
myghteste
a
lytle
whyle
erre
haue
seene
,
perceyued
,
and
playnelye
herde
:
whose
handes
and
weapons
I
can
scasely
kepe
from
thee
:
the
same
can
easelye
enduce
,
that
they
shall
folowe
after
thee
euen
to
the
gates
,
if
thou
wilt
leaue
those
thynges
,
which
a
whyle
a
go
thou
dydest
imagin
to
destroye
.
But
what
do
I
saye
?
that
anye
thynge
can
breake
thee
of
thy
purpose
?
that
thou
wylte
euer
correcte
thy selfe
?
that
thou
wolt
minde
anie
flyght
?
that
thou
wolte
thinke
on
anye
exile
?
Oh
that
the
goddes
immortall
wolde
sende
thee
this
mynde
.
And
thoughe
I
see
howe
greuous
a
tempest
of
hatered
,
if
not
at
this
presente
tyme
,
by
reason
of
the
freshe
remembrance
of
thy
detestable
dedes
,
in
time
to
come
thine
exile
induced
by
myne
oracion
,
shall
stirre
vp
ageinste
me
:
yet
I
care
lytle
for
it
,
soo
that
thys
bee
thy
priuate
calamitie
,
and
the
common
weale
cleane
deliuered
from
peryll
.
But
it
is
not
to
be
required
,
that
thou
shuldest
be
remoued
from
thy
vices
,
that
thou
shuldeste
dreede
the
punishementes
of
the
lawes
,
that
thou
shuldest
applie
thy selfe
to
the
common
weale
according
as
the
tyme
requireth
.
For
thou
Catiline
arte
not
the
man
,
whom
eyther
shame
can
euer
withdrawe
from
fylthy
liuinge
,
or
feare
frome
peryll
,
or
reason
frome
furye
&
madnes
.
Wherfore
(
as
I
haue
oft
saide
)
get
the
away
And
if
thou
wylt
cause
me
(
as
thou
sayest
)
thyne
ennemie
to
be
hated
,
get
the
strayght
waye
into
exile
.
I
shall
with
great
difficultie
beare
mens
wordes
,
if
thou
wolte
this
do
,
I
shall
scasely
be
able
to
susteine
the
burthen
of
this
euyl
wyll
,
if
thou
at
the
consuls
commaundemente
wylte
go
into
exile
.
But
if
thou
haddest
rather
doo
that
that
maye
be
for
mine
honour
and
praise
:
trudge
hence
with
thy
cruel
company
of
euyl
doers
,
get
thee
to
Manlius
,
styre
vp
naughtye
citizens
,
separate
thy selfe
frome
the
good
,
make
warre
vpon
thy

,
reioyce
in
wycked
robrie
,
that
men
maye
see
that
thou
arte
not
by
me
driuen
hence
,
to
dwell
amonge
straungers
:
but
called
to
come
to
thine

.
And
yet
wherto
shuld
I
bydde

to

How

to
the
whiche

when

from

At

And

Nowe

For

if

if
the

welth
shoulde

thus
to

:
Marcus
Tully

what
doste
thou

wilt
thou
suffre
hym
to
go
his

,
whom
thou
hast
found
an
open
ennemye
,
whome
thou
seeste

must

,
whom
thou
perceiuest
our

loke
for
to
be
theyr
chiefe
leader
,
the
auctour
of
this
mischiefe
the
principall
of
the
conspiracye
,
the
reys●●
vp
of
bande
men
and
naughtye

?
Dothe
it
〈…〉
,
that
thou
rather
bryngest
hym
into
the
citye
,
than
sende
hym
out
of
the
citye
,
wilte
thou
not
commaunde
this
felowe
to
prison
,
to
be
violentely
handeled
,
and
with
most
cruell
turment
to
be
put
to
deathe
?
What
thynge
letteth
the.
The
custome
of
our
forefathers
?
They
beinge
oute
of
auctority
haue
full
ofte
in
this
common
weale
,
punysshed
with
deathe
the
naughty
detestable
citezens
Do
the
lawes
,
whyche
were
stablished
to
punisshe
cityzens
founde
culpable
,
let
thee
?
But
theye
in
this
citye
whiche
do
ageynste
the
common
weale
enioye
not
the
priuilege
of
the
citizens
.
Doste
thou
not
feare
the
enuyered
of
those
that
are
to
come
?
Surely
thou
shalt
gyue
the
peple
of
Rome
ryght
hygh
thankes
,
the
which
haue
auanced
the
,
beyng
a

,
wythoute

from

euen
to
the
most
high

of
al

and
that
in
thy
florishing

:
if

,
or
for
drede
of
any
other
peryl
,
doste
not
neglecte
the
sauegarde
and
wealthe
of

.
But
if
there
be
any
feare
of
hatred
,
the
enuie
of
seueritie
and
fortitude
is
not
more
vehementlye
to
be
dradde
,
then
slouthe
and
negligence
in

euill

Whan
Italye
shall
be
wasted
with

,
whan
the
cities
shall
be
vexed
and
troubled
whan
the
buildynges
shal
be
brente
,
doest
thou
not
suppose
,
thou
shalt
be
burned
with
the
flame
of
enuye

To
those
most
constant
wordes
of
the
common
weale
,
and
to
those
mennes
myndes
that
agree
to
the
same
,
I
wyll
in
fewe
wordes
make
answere
.
If
I
had
demed
it
best
,
most
honorable
fathers
,
to
put
Catiline
to
deth
,
I
wold
not
haue
geuen
this
gladiatour
one
houre
space
to
lyue
,
¶
Whan
the
consull
hadd
ended
his
woordes
,
Catiline
was
so
confounded
and
troubled
with
his
oracion
,
that
not
onely
his
greate
wyt
and
exercise
in
pleading
,
wherin
alwaye
he
was
very
excellent
,
but
also
his
vnshamefastnes
,
wherein
he
passed
all
other
,
sodaynelye
fayled
hym
.
Wyth
so
greate
contencion
of
mynde
,
wytte
,
voice
sydes
,
and
graue
gesture
of
the
bodie
spake
the
consull
.
Hys
words
flashed
in
Catilines
face
as
it
wer
the
leam
of
a
bryght
burnynge
torche
,
that
the
mooste
vnshamefaste
man
,
and
to
speake
moste
ready
,
durst
not
open
his
mouth
,
or
speake
one
word
for
hym selfe
:
but
sodeinelye
dyd
flee
oute
of
the
Senate
,
wyth
certayne
manassynge
and
cruell
thretninges
.
Wherefore
Cicero
wrytynge
to
Brutus
,
mooste
soberlye
praysinge
that
his
singuler
facultie
of
pleadinge
,
and
rekenynge
vp
certaine
of
hys
ryght
noble
oracions
,
amonge
other
thynges
what
confounded
Catiline
,
hee
for
good
cause
glorieth
.
Of
me
(
sayth
he
)
the
moste
hardy
and
bolde
man
Catiline
was
accused
in
the
Senate
,
and
helde
his
peace
.
But
there
be
other
that
saye
otherwyse
:
they
wryte
that
Catiline
answered
the
consull
.
And
there
remayneth
and
is
commonlye
in
mennes
handes
a
ryghte
faire
oracion
,
which
is
written
in
Catilines
name
.
The
which
oracion
I
do
not
so
much
beleue
to
be
his
,
as
of
some
greate
and
olde
authour
of
suche
feyned
oracions
.
The
example
of
whiche
oracion
I
haue
therfore
set
in
this
place
,
that
when
I
had
shewed
myne
,
and
other
mens
mindes
,
I
mighte
leaue
it
to
be
iudged
of
other
hereafter
.
Then
Catiline
(
as
I
saye
)
althoughe
he
were
terriblye
feared
with
the
consuls
oracion
,
yet
because
he
was
prompte
in
speeche
,
and
readie
to
dissemble
al
thynges
,
toke
courage
,
and
in
thys
wyse
answered
to
the
consuls
oracion
.

in
mooste
hyghe
office
and
authoritie
,
or
that
consulte
of
matters
publike
or
priuate
,
principally
to
take
hede
,
that
they
rashely
incline
not
to
any
affeccions
,
nor
that
they
cast
down
vnder
foote
with
furie
or
anger
,
the
wytte
,
that
shulde
be
at
lybertie
:
But
with
all
diligence
they
must
indeuour
them selues
,
that
their
myndes
remaine
vncorrupte
that
they
egallie
examen
and
trye
euerie
mans
reason
,
and
that
they
leane
to
no
parte
,
vntyll
the
matter
bee
clerely
opened
,
and
sufficiently
debated
.
For
it
is
a
harde
thynge
,
the
mynde
beinge
disquieted
,
and
the
wytte
troubled
,
to
perswade
any
man
to
the
truthe
.
Such
is
oftentimes
the
strength
and
power
of
an
oracion
.
If
you
,
most
discrete
fathers
,
had
had
this
consideracion
with
you
,
when
our
consull
with
so
sharpe
bytyng
wordes
,
wrongefully
spake
of
my
maners
,
when
he
with
his
pernicious
and
insolent
eloquence
incensed
and
kendled
your
mindes
against
me
:
I
dare
boldelye
saye
,
myne
innocente
lyfe
shulde
this
daye
cleane
haue
quailed
,
his
proude
crakinge
wordes
.
But
nowe
I
see
,
that
ye
by
the
consulles
suggestion
,
prepare
sentence
againste
me
,
and
that
ye
can
scaselie
suffer
to
here
me
,
to
gyue
credence
to
his
authoritie
,
mistrusting
mine
honestie
.
Wherefore
I
maye
well
feare
lest
the
defence
of
myne
helth
be
greatly
hindered
.
For
innocentes
through
the
vniuste
enuie
or
iniurie
of
a
fewe
,
are
often
times
troden
vnder
foote
.
The
which
thynge
surely
besemeth
neither
the
constancie
of
noble
men
,
nor
the
maners
of
the
Romains
,
nor
the
dignitie
and
office
of
the
Senatours
.
Therfore
most
honorable
fathers
,
I
beseeche
you
for
the
goddes
sakes
immortall
,
and
for
your
humanitie
,
that
in
so
greate
and
waighty
matters
ye
lightelye
giue
not
iudgemente
:
reduce
againe
your
mindes
,
mollified
and
ouercome
with
Ciceros
eloquence
,
to
your
olde
integritie
,
and
so
restore
you
them
,
that
at
length
you
maye
vnderstand
the
wordes
of
Catiline
a
Romaine
,
descended
of
noble
lynage
.
If
I
worthy
citizens
,
haue
done
anye
offence
againste
my
countrey
,
I
neither
desire
fauour
nor
mercie
.
Then
ryd
me
out
of
this
lyfe
,
put
this
bodye
to
cruell
deathe
,
and
teare
these
shameful
members
in
pieces
,
for
myne
oracion
tendeth
not
,
that
ye
shulde
haue
mercie
on
Catiline
.
For
why
?
sodenly
to
put
to
cruell
deathe
hym
that
entendeth
to
destroye
his
countrey
,
is
moste
hygh
mercye
.
But
the
clemenry
of
this
citye
I
desire
moste
honorable
fathers
,
that
in
no
maner
wise
ye
forsake
not
innocencie
,
leste
whyle
ye
defende
lybertie
,
throughe
the
iniquitie
of
a
fewe
,
you
shulde
go
aboute
to
destroy
manye
gyltles
persons
.
I
wyll
shewe
you
and
clerely
open
vnto
you
,
that
the
greuous
and
sharpe
enmitie
that
oure
consull
beareth
me
,
is
not
for
the
sauegarde
of
the
comman
weale
:
nor
for
any
desire
that
he
hath
to
mainteine
liberetie
,
but
to
vexe
and
trouble
the
common
weal.
For
howe
many
and
howe
immoderate
discordes
dyd
fyrste
in
tymes
past
kindle
and
prouoke
hym
ageinste
me
,
nor
what
strife
&
contencion
hath
not
ben
betwene
vs
sence
.
I
nede
not
to
declare
:
For
they
are
to
you
honorable
fathers
sufficiently
knowen
.
But
I
woll
rather
tell
you
those
thinges
,
whiche
he
at
the
laste
eleccion
,
when
hee
was
chosen
consull
,
shamefully
,
yea
and
rashely
blasted
out
,
howe
he
desired
the
consulshyp
for
nothinge
more
,
than
for
the
destruccion
of
Catiline
.
These
two
mooste
noble
men
C.
Antonius
,
and
C.
Cesar
are
wytnesses
of
the
same
:
by
whose
authoritie
,
that
his
thretnynge
was
at
the
same
tyme
reproued
as
vndiscreete
.
Goo
to
nowe
moste
prudente
fathers
,
gyue
your
hyghe
dignities
and
offices
to
suche
minded
men
,
the
whiche
woll
more
dylygently
pursue
priuate
ennimities
,
than
the
profite
and
sauegarde
of
all
this
common
weale
.
Cicero
desired
not
the
consulshyp
to
succour
the
miserable
,
or
to
restrayne
the
power
and
myght
of
the
euyll
doers
,
to
defende
the
cytie
,
to
prouide
for
the
common
weale
,
but
specialli
that
he
myght
quayle
Catiline
and
banyshe
hym
.
Are
these
the
duetyes
of
a
man
called
to
the
consulshyp
?
Preferre
suche
menne
in
geuynge
them
highe
roumes
,
before
the
noble
men
,
whose
hole
minde
is
to
extincte
the
nobilitie
.
For
that
that
is
thretned
me
of
thys
man
,
shall
returne
vnto
you
all
.
Beleue
me
moste
prudente
fathers
,
beleue
me
,
the
consent
of
beneuolence
and
loue
is
rare
betwene
myndes
so
vnlyke
.
He
beynge
a
straunger
of
the
towne
Arpinate
,
a
newe
geast
planted
into
thys
cytie
,
thinketh
vpon
his
naturall
rage
and
hatered
,
the
whiche
his
maners
haue
not
only
prepared
ageynst
newe
and
strange
citizens
,
but
also
nature
by
olde
custome
.
Fyrst
at
the
begynninge
of
hys
consulshyp
,
hys
countrey
was
caste
in
his
tethe
,
and
sometyme
his
newe
gentlemanshyp
was
obiected
againste
hym
:
thynke
ye
that
the
manne
moste
vnpacient
,
could
take
soo
great
rebuke
pacientelye
?
At
that
tyme
his
wytte
beynge
kendled
with
a
frowarde
spirite
,
and
as
it
were
a
viperous
serpente
,
his
fierce
and
cruel
mynde
,
with
an
inflamed
and
venomed
stomacke
,
was
all
to
tossed
.
Thys
man
that
nameth
hym selfe
the
father
of
the
countreye
,
that
is
wonte
to
saye
that
thys
common
weale
was
ornated
wyth
his
noblenesse
in
lyuynge
,
he
that
by
his
maners
maketh
hym selfe
not
onlye
egall
to
the
kynredes
of
al
the
moste
noble
and
excellente
men
,
but
also
to
excel
in
vertue
al
oure
forefathers
Whan
he
sawe
his
newe
gentlemanshyppe
obiected
againste
hym
,
how
thynke
you
dyd
hee
take
it
?
Hee
than
gnashed
his
tethe
together
,
and
againste
you
all
he
was
striken
prittelye
wyth
a
woodenes
,
and
gan
to
whet
hys
anger
:
the
whiche
ye
maye
not
thynke
woll
asswage
in
tyme
to
come
,
by
opteyning
of
the
consulshyppe
,
seeynge
that
he
iudgeth
,
that
not
by
your
fauoures
,
but
for
hys
moste
greatest
vertues
hee
worthely
is
aduaunced
to
so
hyghe
a
dignitie
.
And
soo
uowe
he
dothe
execute
those
hys
former
affections
,
nowe
wyth
those
craftes
he
intendeth
to
trouble
the
citye
:
now
with
suche
inuencions
he
woll
reuenge
hym selfe
,
and
brynge
the
nobilitie
in
suche
case
,
that
they
shall
neuer
obiecte
agaynste
hym
hys
newe
gentlemanshyp
.
He
shall
do
it
moste
honorable
fathers
,
he
shall
do
it
,
onlesse
your
mooste
prudente
wysedomes
at
lengthe
prouide
both
for
the
healthe
of
vs
all
and
for
the
common
weale
.
For
nowe
oure
citie
by
thys
ryngeleader
of
myschiefe
&
artificer
of
damnable
dedes
is
so
be
spotted
with
a
vengeable
and
pestilent
blemysh
,
he
so
soweth
abroade
his
detestable
seede
vpon
our
countrey
,
that
if
it
once
take
roote
,
and
grow
to
any
forwardnesse
,
thys
publyke
weale
shall
be
cleane
extincted
,
and
thys
moste
floryshyng
empire
shall
be
vtterly
broughte
to
naughte
.
For
there
is
nothynge
more
perilous
vnto
cities
,
than
whan
the
chiefe
and
principall
citizens
bee
at
stryfe
amonge
them selfe
.
For
Discorde
is
greatteste
fooe
to
floryshynge
common
weales
.
Discorde
alone
disparpleth
and
turneth
vp
sette
downe
,
thynges
stronge
and
myghtye
.
Truely
discorde
hath
brought
this
busynes
into
our
citie
,
it
hath
cast
vs
into
this
calamitie
:
the
whiche
if
it
be
not
prouided
for
in
tyme
,
I
see
that
thys
mooste
floryshing
common
weale
is
in
greate
daunger
,
I
see
the
weapons
in
youre
handes
,
the
oone
of
you
to
withstande
the
other
,
this
man
banyshed
,
and
that
man
murdred
.
Wold
to
god
that
innocent
Catiline
mighte
be
the
ende
of
all
tribulacions
,
like
as
he
is
the
beginning
:
there
is
no
peryll
that
shulde
greue
me
to
take
in
hande
for
the
common
weale
,
I
coulde
be
contente
to
be
proscribed
,
to
be
banyshed
,
to
suffer
death
for
my
countrey
.
But
euerie
man
is
not
at
all
tymes
of
oone
selfe
mynd
.
An
other
shall
be
more
vnpacient
,
the
which
had
rather
be
auenged
,
then
to
suffer
the
iniuries
of
naughtye
persons
.
Then
the
matter
muste
needes
be
tryed
by
cyuile
warre
,
then
shall
our
countrey
stande
in
daunger
to
bee
loste
,
and
wyll
shortelye
fall
into
doubtefull
chaunces
,
and
sure
destruccion
of
the
cytie
:
than
shall
he
greatelye
reioyce
and
glorye
,
that
he
hathe
opteined
hys
purpose
:
When
he
shall
see
this
countreye
glyster
and
shyne
in
bryghte
armoure
,
and
this
citye
set
on
fyre
gyue
lyghte
:
Than
shall
hee
preyse
his
inuencions
and
driftes
,
and
extoll
his
inuincible
mynde
,
and
thynke
he
hathe
sufficientlye
reuenged
hym selfe
,
and
his
fore
fathers
,
for
the
contumelies
and
rebukes
done
to
hym
.
For
he
is
wonte
sometyme
to
saye
,
that
he
is
of
the
family
and
kinred
of
Tullius
Hostilius
kynge
of
the
Volscians
,
speciall
ennemie
to
the
people
of
Rome
:
the
whiche
thynge
is
the
onelye
knowen
occasion
,
why
vniuersallre
the
name
of
Romaines
is
hatefull
vnto
hym
,
and
he
shall
alway
abhorre
this
common
weale
,
by
whose
dominion
the
house
and
family
of
his
ancestours
is
dymmed
,
and
their
empiere
cleane
subdued
and
ouerthrowen
,
whiche
thynge
,
howe
great
cares
it
carieth
into
mennes
mindes
,
iudge
ye
your
owne
selues
.
This
I
may
only
esteme
of
Cicero
,
that
as
longe
as
that
enuye
of
his
fore
fathers
,
and
those
olde
enmities
of
vnpacient
mynde
,
shall
turmoile
and
vexe
his
braine
,
he
wolle
neuer
cesse
from
hys
violence
and
madnes
.
So
greate
is
his
vnmoderate
luste
and
mynd
to
destroye
this
empiere
.
And
euen
now
truely
,
the
hole
worlde
beyng
in
peace
,
so
many
kynges
,
people
,
and
straunge
nacions
subdued
,
all
menne
bothe
by
lande
and
see
obeyinge
vnto
vs
,
and
nowe
that
there
is
no
superior
enemie
of
the
people
of
Rome
,
but
doo
approue
our
great
puisance
and
noble
actes
.
And
therfore
he
hath
no
hope
to
bringe
this
empiere
to
destruccion
by
outward
hostilitie
.
All
thinges
are
in
sure
quiete
vnder
vs
,
all
men
wyllinglye
obey
vnto
vs
.
But
for
as
muche
as
he
greatly
desireth
to
reuenge
hym selfe
and
his
ancestours
,
and
that
his
harde
and
cruell
mynde
wyll
neuer
cesse
from
that
opinion
,
he
flyeth
to
those
perturbacions
,
with
the
which
priuate
enmities
fyrst
with
me
,
lastly
he
intendeth
to
greue
the
hole
common
weale
.
And
so
first
he
accuseth
Catline
his
ennemie
,
and
manye
other
felowes
with
hym
in
his
conspiracie
,
that
they
intend
to
inuade
the
common
weale
,
ouer
runne
theyr
countreye
,
deface
the
citie
,
to
burne
houses
,
temples
,
aultares
,
to
rauyshe
virgins
,
to
murther
and
slee
the
auncient
men
,
the
peple
,
and
the
nobles
,
ne
neuer
stinte
frome
wrathe
,
ne
spare
the
sworde
,
vntyll
they
haue
vtterlye
destroyed
this
moste
beautifull
cytie
,
the
soueraine
princesse
ouer
all
the
world
.
But
I
swere
by
the
immortall
goddes
,
I
wot
not
to
what
ende
this
vayne
estimacion
of
men
wol
come
,
that
any
mortall
man
shoulde
beleue
,
that
there
were
any
so
vtterlie
an
hopelost
,
or
so
ignorante
of
reason
,
that
dothe
not
pereriue
a
certayne
zeale
and
tender
loue
towarde
his
cuntreye
planted
in
hym
,
the
whyche
alwaye
throughe
a
certayne
secrete
and
vehemente
power
of
nature
,
is
powred
in
to
mennes
breastes
.
Than
what
Romaine
mynde
wolde
desire
to
brynge
the
common
weale
to
so
great
calamitie
?
For
what
moste
cruell
ennemye
of
the
Romaines
,
yea
the
verye
Capitayne
of
Carthage
Anniball
,
coulde
inuente
and
imagine
greatter
,
or
the
lyke
hurtes
to
vs
?
Wolde
I
inuade
the
common
weale
,
whiche
haue
for
the
common
weale
enterprised
and
susteyned
so
excedynge
great
perilles
?
Shuld
I
be
so
bolde
,
to
deface
the
Senate
and
citie
,
whiche
haue
adorned
my
lynage
with
so
many
most
large
benefites
?
Shulde
I
burne
the
temples
of
Rome
,
the
which
shew
forthe
so
manye
grauen
images
and
tables
of
mine
ancestoures
?
Shuld
I
murder
the
noble
men
of
bloud
or
Senatoures
,
that
am
nowe
in
honoure
and
dignitie
amonge
them
?
Shuld
I
wearyng
the
honorable
robe
defile
the
citie
with
other
mischeuous
dedes
,
that
which
with
all
diligence
haue
withstand
,
that
other
shoulde
not
defile
it
?
What
hope
?
what
mynde
?
what
occasion
shoulde
driue
me
to
do
suche
a
deede
?
Shoulde
the
luste
and
desire
of
dominion
and
rule
,
whereof
a
lytle
whyle
ere
Cicero
reasoned
?
haue
I
not
quietely
opteyned
the
dignite
aboue
all
?
haue
not
I
as
good
hoope
lefte
me
to
excuse
other
dignities
,
as
it
is
lawful
for
any
mortal
man
to
require
?
for
I
am
both
of
the
bloud
of
noble
Senatours
,
and
haue
opteined
the
dignitie
of
a
Senatour
,
and
here
after
,
I
may
be
consul
or
dictatour
.
The
whiche
dignities
are
suche
and
so
greate
,
that
not
onlye
in
this
moste
noble
citie
,
but
also
they
far
excel
the
empiers
and
principalities
of
all
people
,
of
all
nacions
,
that
are
in
all
the
worlde
.
What
nedeth
it
then
to
seke
that
thinge
in
harde
warre
,
whiche
willingelye
in
peace
is
prepared
for
me
?
But
peraduenture
as
Cicero
sayde
,
enuie
styrred
me
,
great
dette
,
pouertie
,
immoderate
boldenesse
to
beare
a
rule
.
But
this
shuld
be
estemed
of
a
man
that
is
wylful
rashe
,
and
brainesicke
,
or
of
any
other
,
the
which
in
hope
to
wynne
and
gette
goodes
,
maye
vnwyselye
make
soo
great
a
sedicion
amonge
the
people
of
Rome
:
and
not
of
a
man
of
the
noblest
bloud
borne
,
and
in
a
citie
aboundynge
in
welthe
.
For
shuld
he
that
is
honestly
furnished
with
riches
,
doubte
that
he
shulde
at
●nye
tyme
wante
?
for
so
muche
lucre
and
wynning
doth
euen
offer
it selfe
,
and
suche
profite
cometh
of
the
common
treasure
:
that
if
a
man
shulde
a
lytle
decaye
,
and
in
no
wyse
obeye
vnto
honestie
,
it
is
incredible
,
howe
easelye
he
maye
be
laded
wyth
aboundance
of
riches
.
And
to
let
passe
other
thinges
,
thou
Cicero
,
arte
an
example
vnto
me
,
whyche
in
a
maner
the
other
daye
entredst
into
this
citye
,
bare
&
nedy
of
al
thynges
,
after
thou
gottest
thee
once
in
office
,
thou
gatheredst
sodeinly
together
so
great
a
heap
of
ryches
,
that
all
the
townes
belonginge
to
Rome
as
it
semed
were
scasely
sufficient
for
thy
factoures
.
Wherfore
thou
doste
but
folyshely
,
to
laye
couetousenes
,
pouertie
,
and
greate
det
vnto
my
charge
.
All
whiche
thynges
I
coulde
by
a
more
sure
maye
appease
,
then
to
disturbe
the
common
weale
,
to
take
the
vncerteine
for
certeyne
,
for
a
lytle
commoditie
to
enterprise
exceadynge
greate
peryls
.
Neither
I
(
as
touchinge
suche
thynges
as
I
am
accused
of
)
wolde
for
any
priuate
debate
haue
goone
in
hande
with
so
horrible
a
dede
.
There
is
no
man
in
thys
common
weale
,
that
I
reken
to
be
myne
ennemie
,
onlye
Cicero
is
agreued
with
me
,
because
I
coulde
not
cloke
his
vices
,
whyche
he
dyd
secretlye
:
whose
folyshe
and
trifling
toyes
if
I
sholde
haue
exchewed
and
put
from
me
,
I
had
many
wayes
to
reuenge
my selfe
,
wythoute
publike
peryll
.
Nor
I
neded
no
refuge
to
the
hurt
of
the
common
weale
,
seynge
there
was
neither
drede
nor
ieopardy
to
withstande
or
let
me
,
for
if
he
were
rydde
oute
of
this
lyfe
,
there
shulde
remaine
no
man
that
wold
not
onely
reuenge
hym
,
but
also
mourne
at
his
funerall
.
But
god
forbydde
,
that
I
shulde
dishoneste
my selfe
for
hys
fole
hardynes
.
For
it
is
no
laude
for
noble
men
to
be
reuenged
on
abiecte
persons
,
yet
perchance
if
I
wold
haue
desired
it
,
it
shuld
not
be
imputed
worthy
citizens
,
but
that
I
(
if
I
had
gone
about
it
at
that
tyme
)
myghte
haue
had
muche
more
oportunitie
,
than
he
shulde
haue
had
.
Surely
if
I
fortified
myne
house
wyth
strength
of
men
of
armes
,
broughte
in
my
companions
,
and
made
good
watche
,
for
I
wyll
not
deny
any
of
these
thynges
,
I
did
it
most
prudent
fathers
not
to
do
any
man
wrong
but
to
resyste
the
violence
of
the
consull
.
I
dradde
hys
wytte
,
I
knowe
his
eloquence
,
I
was
not
ignoraunt
of
his
malice
,
I
vnderstode
he
had
instructed
this
conspiracy
.
And
so
I
was
in
feare
,
lefte
that
by
his
eloquence
ye
shulde
sodeinly
disdaine
me
in
your
mindes
,
and
that
ye
(
the
daungers
once
declared
)
cleane
ageinste
my
question
,
wolde
greuouselye
punyshe
me
.
For
if
I
had
bene
once
deliuered
in
to
his
handes
,
in
vaine
afterwarde
shoulde
I
haue
founde
place
for
my
defence
.
And
so
I
haue
with
greate
laboure
prolonged
my
lyfe
vnto
this
daie
.
And
in
all
this
great
trouble
,
by
meanes
of
thy
perswasion
,
I
haue
scaselye
escaped
,
that
I
was
not
of
all
men
condemned
as
gyltie
.
But
nowe
Cicero
,
when
thou
hadst
lesse
nede
,
otherwise
than
thou
hopedst
,
I
am
come
into
the
Senate
:
and
as
muche
as
seemed
to
me
sufficient
,
I
haue
opened
a
fewe
of
thy
leaste
fautes
:
the
whyche
by
that
tyme
they
be
knowen
,
thou
woldeste
rather
they
shulde
be
forgotten
,
then
that
so
great
crimes
shuld
come
to
lyghte
and
be
knowen
.
I
was
nothing
afraied
of
thy
mischeuous
dedes
,
nor
thine
oracion
at
that
time
,
nor
thy
mocions
coniected
willingly
againste
me
,
made
me
not
afraied
.
For
what
feare
in
so
great
assemblye
of
Senatours
,
in
so
greate
a
companye
of
noble
cityzens
,
could
trouble
any
innocent
mynd
?
Therfore
I
haue
the
daye
,
whiche
I
most
speciallye
desired
,
whiche
assuredly
thou
dydst
least
loke
for
.
I
haue
a
Senate
which
can
vnderstand
myne
innocencie
,
before
whom
thy
damnable
offences
shall
be
opened
.
I
haue
therfore
with
good
peryll
prouided
against
my
peryls
,
if
at
any
tyme
wyth
strength
of
men
of
armes
I
defended
thy
fury
,
if
at
any
season
without
drede
I
stode
styffe
in
the
common
weale
,
while
by
all
meanes
thou
dydst
perswade
me
to
flee
,
I
contrarie
wyse
mynded
to
tarye
.
But
o
good
lorde
wher
be
wee
?
Who
seeth
not
a
mighty
false
accusacion
?
what
other
thing
dyd
all
thy
oracion
meane
,
but
that
I
shuld
flee
?
But
if
(
as
thou
saieste
)
all
my
deedes
be
well
knowen
,
if
mine
imaginacions
be
more
clerer
then
the
lyght
:
why
doest
thou
nowe
perswade
me
to
flee
?
Here
I
am
,
hauinge
no
power
or
defence
of
myne
owne
aboute
me
.
The
Senate
is
presente
,
whyche
wyll
prohibite
and
let
the
from
harme
,
Shewe
forth
these
mischeuous
dedes
:
open
plainely
the
sedicion
,
do
punyshemente
.
For
it
besemeth
the
not
to
be
mercifull
in
so
great
perils
.
Delay
,
and
to
be
without
helpe
,
maye
be
hurtful
:
If
thou
haue
the
principall
of
the
conspiracie
,
if
the
capitaine
of
the
ennimies
be
in
thy
handes
,
why
doest
thou
tarye
?
Why
doste
thou
couet
to
caste
hym
oute
?
For
it
is
more
profitable
,
that
the
armie
wante
a
capitaine
:
for
so
they
shall
be
the
more
slacke
to
make
warre
.
But
I
see
(
as
it
is
wonte
to
chance
)
in
the
myddes
of
euyls
,
thou
for
feare
of
punyshement
,
beginnest
to
waxe
colde
,
for
thou
seeste
the
myschaunce
that
thou
preparest
either
for
me
,
or
for
the
common
weale
,
shall
lyghte
vppon
thy selfe
.
Thys
thynge
nowe
to
thy
greate
daunger
is
farre
otherwyse
handled
than
thou
thoughtest
.
Doubtest
not
nowe
,
that
I
woll
obiecte
againste
the
thy
goodes
?
Dyddest
thou
thynke
,
that
I
wolde
come
into
the
Senate
?
Therefore
when
I
came
,
thou
forthwith
were
sore
afraied
.
Thynkest
thou
nowe
to
make
me
afraied
wyth
thy
threatninges
?
Knoweste
thou
not
howe
free
,
and
howe
bolde
the
stomake
of
an
innocente
is
?
Wylte
thou
Cicero
that
I
flee
?
Surelye
I
wyll
not
flee
,
but
abyde
and
ouercome
thy
proude
bragges
?
I
muste
nedes
reproue
thy
mischeuous
deedes
and
inuencions
.
Let
thy
witnesses
come
in
to
this
place
,
of
whom
thou
saiest
thou
hast
so
great
plentie
,
that
nothynge
of
my
deedes
can
be
couered
or
hydde
from
thee
.
Whom
bringest
thou
forth
?
Q.
Curius
?
surely
a
man
of
a
good
opinion
,
and
of
an
honest
lyfe
:
or
suche
one
as
hath
nobly
with
his
leud
and
naughty
dedes
dishonested
this
order
,
and
therefore
was
abiected
.
Or
wylte
thou
brynge
forth
Fuluia
his
mate
in
bodely
lust
,
whiche
was
neuer
priuye
to
no
murder
,
nor
is
not
the
nurce
chylde
of
aduoutrye
and
fornicacion
,
nor
of
none
other
vnlaufull
copulacion
:
or
elles
she
hathe
so
lyued
,
that
as
an
example
of
abhominable
vice
,
she
her selfe
alone
canne
excell
all
the
craftes
and
deceites
of
hoores
.
These
are
the
moste
noble
men
,
that
suspect
the
trouble
and
vnquietnes
of
the
citie
,
and
that
are
broughte
in
as
witnesses
ageinste
me
.
But
I
swere
by
the
goddes
immortall
,
that
nowe
thou
Cicero
,
doest
shewe
by
thy
maners
,
that
thou
doest
very
shamefullye
abuse
thy
farye
?
For
if
thy
mynde
was
to
ryd
me
oute
of
the
waye
,
thou
shuldest
not
haue
sought
witnesse
of
them
that
are
open
conspiratoures
.
Thou
oughtest
to
haue
chosen
theym
,
whose
lyfe
is
more
vnknowen
,
and
their
robberies
a
lytle
more
secrete
.
Many
menne
for
that
money
,
wolde
more
profitably
haue
plyed
to
thyne
ambicion
.
For
no
good
citizen
ought
to
be
afrayed
of
their
yll
and
malicious
wordes
.
They
maye
easely
be
reproued
,
seyng
that
their
fortune
,
theire
fidelitie
and
deedes
are
sufficiente
,
whiche
if
they
wolde
fauoure
me
,
I
wolde
rather
they
shulde
be
myne
iniurious
aduersaries
,
lest
their
familiaritie
shulde
bringe
my
lyfe
lykewise
in
a
contempt
.
And
so
nowe
moste
honorable
fathers
,
al
the
dedes
and
imaginacions
of
the
consull
I
haue
opened
plainelye
vnto
you
:
nowe
also
mine
innocency
maye
appeare
vnto
you
.
Ye
see
what
thinge
caused
that
he
wolde
destroye
Catiline
,
and
disturbe
the
common
weale
.
He
is
styrred
and
striueth
with
me
for
priuate
enmities
.
For
castinge
in
the
tethē
of
his
newe
gentlemanshyp
,
hee
hateth
all
the
nobilitie
after
the
maner
of
his
fore
fathers
.
For
he
abhorreth
this
countrey
,
and
therefore
he
goeth
aboute
to
make
sedicion
,
to
sowe
discorde
,
his
vnpaciente
stomake
wyll
neuer
be
in
quiete
,
till
he
brynge
vs
to
destruccion
.
Fyrste
he
accuseth
me
,
beyng
borne
of
the
noble
bloude
of
Rome
,
and
a
Senatour
,
to
be
a
murderer
:
where
as
the
noble
actes
and
dedes
,
hygh
dominions
,
offices
and
dygnities
,
and
greate
and
large
benefites
doone
to
thys
common
weale
by
myne
auncestours
,
do
mooste
honorably
glyster
and
shyne
.
He
obiecteth
nedynes
〈…〉
me
,
the
whiche
in
this
mooste
plentifull
citie
coulde
neuer
bee
an
hynderaunce
to
theym
that
are
in
lowe
and
meane
offices
.
He
obiecteth
enmities
againste
me
,
the
whiche
seme
vnto
me
,
not
to
be
sufficient
,
to
disturbe
the
common
weale
.
Ye
see
what
witnesses
he
bringeth
forth
the
whiche
are
suche
,
that
they
exceede
the
wittes
of
all
mischeuous
caytiues
.
Whyche
attemptates
,
after
hee
sawe
came
not
to
passe
,
as
he
hoped
they
wold
,
nor
hath
no
greate
truste
in
the
senate
,
he
is
forthwith
ouerthrowen
with
feare
.
He
commaundeth
me
to
flee
,
whan
if
I
had
ben
fautie
,
to
reuenge
soo
heynous
an
offence
,
the
greatest
punyshemente
that
is
,
coulde
not
be
sufficiente
.
Than
if
you
most
honorable
fathers
see
myne
innocencye
,
if
ye
perceiue
his
fierce
cruell
mynde
,
if
ye
ponder
the
peryls
of
the
common
weale
,
than
at
the
laste
looke
vp
,
take
pitie
,
and
saue
from
ruine
the
empire
of
Rome
.
Ye
haue
euen
amonge
you
a
slipper
serpente
,
ye
haue
in
this
order
included
,
the
calamlitie
of
the
common

whiche
is
ryghte
watchefull
,
to
brynge
to

the

You

Beware

Go

Succour

Resiste

In

What

This

He
accuseth

might
haue

He

O

Hold

VNeathe
Catiline
hadde
ended
his
wordes
,
but
that
many
senatours
beganne
to
murmure
,
and
to
call
hym
manqueller
and
ennemye
.
Than
Catiline
full
of
furye
,
sayde
:
For
as
muche
as
I
am
beset
aboute
wyth
ennemies
,
and
am
ouerthrowen
hedlynge
I
wyll
not
quenche
the
burnynge
of
myne
anger
wyth
water
,
but
with
your
ruine
.
After
that
,
all
pale
and
chafed
,
he
sodeinly
rushed
out
of
the
courte
,
and
gatte
hym
home
,
with
many
greate
and
cruell
manassinges
,
there
myndynge
manye
thynges
,
he
determined
to
take
hys
iourney
to
Manlyus
armie
:
fearinge
,
if
he
shulde
tarye
any
longer
,
lest
the
people
stomaked
against
hym
wyth
the
consuls
oracion
,
shulde
runne
vpon
hym
.
Therefore
assemblynge
to gether
Lentulus
,
Cethegus
,
and
other
the
chiefe
of
the
conspiracie
,
he
shewed
to
them
his
counsel
,
exhortyng
them
to
be
alwaye
redy
,
and
of
good
courage
,
and
not
to
be
afraied
for
anye
laboure
and
peryll
,
and
that
they
shuld
diligentlie
execute
the
thynges
,
that
they
had
apoynted
the
other
nyght
:
and
that
they
shulde
allure
as
many
as
they
could
to
ioyne
with
them
in
that
warre
.
In
the
meane
whyle
he
warned
them
that
they
shulde
sprede
a
rumour
aboute
the
citie
,
that
he
an
innocent
was
banyshed
to
Massula
:
that
by
reason
thereof
Cicero
might
runne
in
hatred
,
and
that
therby
he
might
vnwares
inuade
the
citie
.
When
he
had
saide
these
,
and
other
lyke
thinges
,
about
midnyght
with
a
fewe
,
or
(
as
some
other
saye
)
with
.iij.
C.
men
of
armes
,
he
departed
out
of
the
citie
:
nor
he
went
not
by
the
waye
called
Flaminia
(
as
some
falselye
write
)
but
by
the
waye
aurelia
:
The
morowe
after
that
Catiline
was
fled
out
of
the
citie
,
M.
Cicero
made
an
oracion
to
the
people
:
which
bycause
it
is
written
among
Ciceros
oracions
,
I
ouerpas
here
what
then
was
saide
of
the
consull
to
them
.
¶
Catiline
sente
diuers
letters
into
the
citie
agaynste
Cicero
,
in
which
he
feyned
hym selfe
to
be
exiled
.
Cap.
xxi
.
BVt
Catiline
as
he
was
in
his
iournei
,
wrot
letters
to
many
that
had
ben
consulles
,
and
sente
theym
to
all
suche
as
were
chiefe
and
principall
:
to
whome
he
sayde
that
he
was
circumuented
with
false
accusacions
,
and
seperate
frome
the
Senate
:
and
bicause
hee
coulde
not
resiste
the
consull
,
he
gaue
place
for
the
tyme
,
and
as
a
banished
man
wente
vnto
Massilia
,
not
that
he
knewe
hym selfe
coulpable
in
anye
offence
,
but
to
the
ende
the
common
weale
shulde
be
in
quiete
,
and
that
the
consull
,
couetynge
to
destroy
the
nobilitie
,
shuld
not
by
feyninge
of
Catilines
conspiracie
,
brynge
to
destruccion
manye
good
and
innocente
men
:
And
that
he
wolde
rather
forsake
his
countrey
,
than
that
for
his
sake
anye
dissencion
of
ciuyle
warre
shulde
aryse
.
This
thynge
caused
Cicero
to
be
greatly
hated
:
for
there
were
many
that
sayde
,
that
Catiline
was
not
astonied
and
afraied
for
the
consuls
diligence
,
nor
put
frome
his
hope
or
enterprise
,
but
by
the
consuls
violence
and
thretnynges
,
he
vncondemned
and
an
innocente
was
banyshed
,
nor
they
disproued
not
hym
,
but
saide
that
Cicero
was
to
tymerous
,
and
a
consull
not
diligent
,
but
a
tyranne
moste
cruell
.
But
whan
Catiline
,
with
the
ornamentes
of
a
consull
,
and
lyke
a
soueraine
Captaine
was
come
into
the
countrey
of
Fesuls
,
and
had
receyued
the
armye
of
Manlius
,
he
determined
not
to
make
warre
,
before
he
had
augmented
the
armye
,
and
tyl
he
had
a
fewe
dayes
exercised
and
accustumed
his
souldiours
,
after
the
discipline
of
the
ancient
Romaines
,
to
indure
laboure
and
warfare
.
Then
Catiline
watchinge
,
laborynge
,
settynge
his
menne
in
aray
,
callynge
his
souldioures
by
name
,
monyshinge
,
exhortynge
,
dayly
more
and
more
he
reduced
and
brought
them
againe
to
the
knowledge
and
discipline
of
warfare
While
Catiline
in
marciall
feates
instructed
his
army
,
Q.
Catulus
,
a
man
in
moste
highe
estimacion
and
autoritie
,
which
sometyme
was
Catilines
familiar

redde
the

in

Wherfore
I

the
which

Yet
for

I
prouoked
wyth

,
and
depriued
of
the
fruite
of

opteyned

toke

with

alienated

And

¶
Many
in
the
citye
blamed
the
softnes
of
Cicero
,
that
he
suffred
their
enemye
to
go
his
waye
.
Cap.
xxii
.
BVT
when
it
was
knowen
at
Rome
,
by
manye
mennes
letters
,
and
often
messages
,
that
Catiline
was
admitted
capytaine
ouer
the
armye
,
and
that
hee
intended
too
make
warre
vpon
his
countreye
:
there
were
verye
manye
that
greatelye
blamed
the
consull
,
bycause
he
had
not
taken
soo
greuous
an
enemie
to
the
common
weale
,
and
that
he
had
let
scape
the
principall
and
chiefe
of
the
conspiracie
.
For
at
that
tyme
,
the
people
reasoned
and
commoned
amonge
them selfes
,
on
this
maner
:
Catiline
longer
this
tyme
,
ought
to
haue
ben
put
to
deathe
by
the
consulles
commaundement
,
and
with
moste
cruell
and
sharpe
tourmentes
to
haue
ben
punished
.
This
mischief
,
which
he
hath
craftly
imagined
againste
vs
,
oughte
to
haue
ben
layde
vppon
his
owne
necke
.
For
if
the
consull
had
put
hym
to
death
,
(
as
he
hath
deserued
)
we
had
ben
nowe
without
warre
,
the
straytes
of
Hetruria
had
not
ben
fylled
with
the
tentes
of
our
enemies
,
the
common
welthe
had
ben
nowe
in
quiete
and
rest
.
It
was
no
nede
at
that
tyme
to
haue
vsed
mercy
,
it
had
ben
a
very
mercifull
dede
,
most
sharply
to
haue
punyshed
oure
ennemie
,
and
by
the
deathe
of
one
wicked
personne
,
to
haue
preserued
the
whole
common
wealthe
.
Some
other
vsinge
the
aunciente
examples
shewed
,
howe
that
Sp.
Elius
desiringe
to
reigne
alone
was
slayne
of
P.
Seruilius
Hala.
And
lykewise
Tiberius
Gracchus
of
P.
Scipio
,
and
also
howe
that
C.
Marius
,
slew
L.
Saturnius
protectour
of
the
commonaltie
,
and
C
Seruilius
Glaucia
the
mayre
,
for
certaine
suspicions
of
sedicion
:
But
Cicero
hath
commaunded
him
(
whom
he
knewe
to
be
an
enemy
most
greuous
whom
also
he
perceiued
to
be
loked
for
of
their
enemies
to
be
their
cap●taine
and
gouernour
)
to
go
vnto
his
armye
,
and
so
to
make
warre
ageynste
his
countreye
.
¶
O
the
miserable
estate
of
them
that
gouerned
suche
common
welthes
,
in
the
which
he
that
is
diligente
,
is
called
wayward
and
hard
to
please
:
He
that
is
negligente
,
dyshoneste
:
where
he
that
is
constante
and
iuste
,
is
called
cruell
and
vngentle
:
and
he
that
is
mercifull
,
fearfull
,
and
dissolute
:
wherin
is
geuen
no
pardon
to
them
that
do
amysse
,
and
small
praise
to
them
that
do
well
.
Or
euer
it
was
spoken
that
L.
Catiline
was
gone
in
exile
,
it
was
sayde
,
that
he
was
not
by
Cicero
spoyled
of
his
armours
of
boldenes
,
that
he
was
not
circumuented
and
weakened
by
the
diligente
labour
and
councel
of
Cicero
and
that
he
had
altered
his
intente
,
not
bycause
that
he
dyd
greatly
feare
:
but
that
he
vncondemned
and
an
innocent
was
exiled
only
by
the
wordes
and
power
of
the
consull
.
He
was
not
then
called
vnhappy
,
but
fearefull
:
Contrary
wyse
,
the
consull
not
diligente
,
but
cruel
.
But
seynge
there
were
menne
,
that
spake
these
thinges
,
what
wolde
they
haue
saide
if
Catiline
had
ben
put
to
deathe
?
Nowe
for
as
muche
as
Catiline
lyueth
,
and
is
vnpunished
,
they
call
Cicero
a
manne
of
no
greate
counsell
,
but
ignoraunte
,
fearefull
,
and
dissolute
.
Certes
there
is
nothinge
more
ignorant
and
vnwise
,
than
the
vulgare
people
,
whiche
without
any
difference
or
wisedome
iudgeth
and
onelye
pondreth
the
chaunce
of
the
thynge
,
and
to
whom
any
thynge
well
happeneth
,
hym
they
saye
to
be
very
prouident
and
circumspecte
,
and
to
whome
otherwyse
,
he
to
perceyue
and
knowe
nothinge
.
But
let
vs
omytte
these
thinges
.
¶
Catiline
and
Manlius
be
proclaymed
ennemies
,
vnto
whom
fled
very
many
hope●
ostes
.
Cap.
xxiii
.
BVT
when
it
was
surelye
knowen
at
Rome
,
that
Catiline
was
admitted
capitayne
ouer
the
armye
,
and
intended
to
make
warre
vpon
his
countrey
,
there
was
an
acte
of
parliament
made
,
in
the
whiche
Catiline
and
Manlius
were
iudged
to
be
vtter
enemies
to
the
common
welthe
.
And
to
all
other
there
was
a
daye
appoynted
(
sauynge
to
those
that
were
alredy
condemned
)
that
it
shuld
be
lawful
for
them
to
departe
from
the
army
vnpunyshed
.
And
if
any
man
after
that
tyme
shulde
go
vnto
Catiline
,
the
senate
to
take
hym
as
a
traytoure
againste
the
common
weale
,
and
agaynste
all
mennes
safegarde
and
profite
.
The
senate
also
decreed
,
that
the
consuls
shulde
muster
,
and
that
C.
Antonius
with
suche
ayde
as
he
myght
gather
,
shulde
pursue
Catiline
bothe
by
lande
and
sea
,
and
Cicero
to
defende
the
citye
frome
al
deceites
and
mischaunces
.
Neuerthelesse
the
mindes
of
desperate
persons
were
nothynge
refrained
by
these
sharpe
decrees
.
For
there
was
none
out
of
soo
greate
a
company
of
conspiratours
that
departed
from
Catiline
excepte
it
were
eyther
to
spye
,
or
to
doo
some
myschiefe
:
but
contrary
wyse
there
were
many
that
drewe
to
hym
,
bothe
out
of
the
countrey
,
and
out
of
the
citye
.
But
of
all
those
that
drewe
to
hym
,
he
refused
bonde
seruantes
,
of
whom
an
innumerable
multitude
fled
to
hym
,
he
estemed
it
a
thinge
vnsemely
,
that
runnagates
shulde
haue
to
do
in
citizens
matters
:
and
thynkinge
this
also
,
whiche
in
dede
shoulde
haue
come
to
passe
,
(
if
his
companions
at
Rome
had
performed
their
enterprise
)
that
huge
routes
of
snaphances
and
hope lostes
,
from
all
partes
of
Italy
wolde
resorte
to
hym
.
For
not
onlye
they
that
were
confederate
in
the
conspiracye
,
coueted
that
Catiline
shulde
victoriousely
ouercome
,
but
also
whosoeuer
were
greatly
indetted
,
who
soo
euer
had
solde
awaye
their
landes
,
who
so
euer
were
in
tyme
paste
condemned
or
atteinted
:
Many
also
by
troublynge
of
the
common
weale
,
looked
to
be
aduaunced
to
honours
and
moost
hyghe
ronmes
,
many
desired
warre
by
reason
that
of
such
ruffeling
and
dissencions
,
they
opteyned
power
.
Farthermore
in
a
greate
city
are
alwayes
many
naughty
yll
doers
,
hope lostes
,
malaperte
,
troublous
,
sedicious
and
nedye
felowes
,
which
with
a
becke
are
redy
to
disturbe
the
quiet
and
rest
of
a
citie
.
But
most
specially
the
delycate
youth
,
and
lytle
bearded
yonge
men
,
or
Catilines
flocke
wythout
beardes
,
whiche
smellynge
all
of
muske
,
their
heares
featelye
comed
,
wearinge
veyles
and
not
gownes
,
allowed
Catilines
counsayles
.
And
of
these
,
manye
got
them
to
catilines
armye
.
And
of
that
number
was
one
Fuluius
,
the
sonne
of
Aulus
a
Snatour
,
the
whyche
if
he
coulde
haue
exchewed
Catilines
company
and
amytie
,
he
had
nothyng
gone
oute
of
kynde
from
his
forefathers
.
He
was
excellently
lerned
in
greke
and
latine
:
he
had
a
ioly
quicke
wytte
,
he
was
a
goodly
yonge
manne
and
a
towarde
.
But
he
with
Catilines
company
and
amitie
made
vnlyke
to
hym selfe
,
in
a
folyshe
brayde
,
fled
vnto
Catilines
campe
:
Whom
his
harde
father
returnynge
hym
backe
againe
frome
hys
iourney
,
whanne
he
hadde
with
spytefull
rebukes
rated
,
hee
afterwarde
commaunded
hym
to
be
slayne
.
Also
there
was
an
opinion
that
P.
Clodius
,
the
sonne
of
Appius
,
departed
out
of
the
citie
,
to
th
entente
to
go
to
Catiline
.
After
that
chaunging
his
purpose
,
he
returned
to
the
citie
,
and
so
Cicero
obiecteth
againste
hym
in
manye
places
,
that
he
was
companion
of
the
conspiracie
,
the
whiche
cryme
although
it
weren
obiected
of
an
enemye
,
yet
I
beleue
it
to
be
true
,
for
the
lyfe
and
maners
of
Clodius
approue
that
he
boldely
enterprised
all
thinges
.
Also
there
were
some
that
saide
that
C.
Antonius
the
consull
was
one
that
conspired
with
Catiline
,
whoose
opinion
was
approued
by
this
one
argumente
,
that
Antonius
neuer
endeuoured
hym selfe
to
auoide
that
suspicion
of
familiaritie
wyth
Catiline
,
which
men
than
had
of
hym
,
neyther
by
denyinge
,
nor
yet
by
dissimulacion
.

BVT
the
huge
mocion
of
this
cursed
conspiracie
reysed
vp
by
Marcellus
the
father
and
the
sonne
,
disclosed
by
L.
Vectius
,
was
appealed
and
brought
downe
by
Bibulus
in
pelignis
and
by
Cicero
in
Brutus
,
and
by
them
they
were
bothe
punyshed
.
But
in
the
further
Fraunce
,
C.
Murena
the
legate
,
brother
vnto
Murena
that
was
apointed
to
bee
consull
:
In
the
countreye
of
Pyse
,
and
the
one
parte
of
Fraunce
,
the
noble
maire
Q.
Metellus
,
dyd
withstand
and
let
the
myscheuous
fury
and
ententes
of
the
conspiratours
.
And
many
of
these
dyd
Metellus
cast
in
prison
.
Albeit
(
through
the
faulte
of
the
writers
as
I
suppose
)
it
is
falsely
red
in
Saluste
,
that
this
C.
Murena
shulde
be
the
ruler
of
the
hyther
Fraunce
.
For
Cicero
doth
affirme
,
that
he
was
at
that
tyme
in
the
further
Fraunce
,
with
all
his
power
.
And
by
the
same
authour
wee
haue
shewed
before
,
that
Q.
Metellus
Celer
,
was
sente
from
the
senate
into
the
countrey
of
Pise
&
a
part
of
Fraunce
.
Furthermore
Cicero
the
consul
commaunded
,
that
all
the
inhabitantes
and
dwellers
there
aboute
,
shulde
strongly
fortifie
their
townes
with
garisons
of
men
of
armes
,
and
to
defende
their
borders
and
cities
from
the
inuasion
of
Catiline
.
Also
he
sente
P.
Sestius
the
treasourer
with
an
army
to
Capua
,
bycause
he
herde
saye
that
the
rebels
wente
about
to
take
it
.
Than
whan
he
was
come
to
Capua
,
he
banyshed
frome
thence
C.
Meulanus
,
a
man
geuen
to
ryot
,
and
C.
Marcellus
endeuoryng
him selfe
to
wynne
the
citie

,

to
reyse
vp

Wherfore
the
chiefe
rulers
of
Capua
,
for
that
the
welth
of
their

was
preserued
,
they
in

sette

There
were

at

ambassatours

sente
from
a
citie
somwhat
in
trouble
,
desiryng
of
the
senat
to
deliuer
their
towne
which
was
greatly
indetted
.
Wherfore
Lentulus
supposed
lightly
to
allure
those
men
to
ayde
them
in
their
warres
,
for
as
much
as
the
french
men
are
of
nature
inclined
to
warre
,
and
alwaye
intentiue
to
newe
businesse
,
and
hated
the
present
estate
of
the
people
of
Rome
.
In
this
confederacie
were
many
commodities
.
Fyrst
,
Fraunce
had
great
plentie
of
horsemen
.
of
whome
the
conspiratoures
sawe
them selfes
to
haue
greate
neede
.
Seconde
,
bycause
the
people
of
Dolpiny
were
next
adioynynge
to
Italye
,
and
by
the
reason
that
Fraunce
shuld
be
in
an
vprore
&
ruffelinge
,
they
thought
no
man
could
resiste
the
conspiracy
.
And
so
bycause
P.
Vmbrenus
was
aqueinted
with
the
frenchemen
,
they
gaue

that
he
shulde
require

spedely
shewed

Than

that
he
hadde

which
thing
he
alway
desyred

commaunded
the

to

admonyshed
them
that
they
shulde
not
bee

withoute

Nor
that
they
shulde
ioyne

with

wretched
condicion
of
Catiline
,
Lentulus
,
and

vncertayne
for

,
or
for
a
small
commoditee
to
aduenture
vpon
exceding
great
perylles
.
All
warre
is
easelye
begonne
,
but
it
is
not
in
his
power
to
make
an
ende
,
that
beganne
it
.
He
sayde
Catiline
by
my
counsailes
,
by
my
great
laboure
and
trauaile
,
and
wyth
mi
strength
of
men
of

is
so
be
set
about
on
al
sides
febled
,
that
my
felowe
Antonius
with
an
army
may
easely
subdue
hym
.
Within
the
citie
al
thinges
are
abundantly
foreseen
and
prouided
for
,
that
no
man
can
once
sturre
against
the
common
weale
.
And
that
if
it
were
knowen
that
they
had
done
,
begon
,
or
intended
to
do
any
thynge
against
the
common
weale
,
the
Senate
and
people
of
Rome
wyll
as
they
are
accostumed
,
moste
sharpelye
reuenge
it
:
Therfore
he
aduised
them
to
take
good
hede
to
them selues
and
their
citie
.
But
in
case
they
wolde
bee
ruled
and
do
as
he
wolde
aduise
them
,
they
shulde
stand
in
possibilitie
to
obteyne
of
the
people
of
Rome
all
thynges
what
soo
euer
they
wolde
require
.
The
ambassadours
full
gently
answered
to
those
thynges
and
sayde
:
It
is
true
,
they
were
required
by
Lentulus
to
be
felowes
with
them
in
warre
,
but
they
weere
not
in
so
miserable
state
,
nor
of
soo
wylfull
a
mynde
,
that
they
wolde
sodeinly
spyl
and
cast
away
the
amitie
that
they
had
wyth
the
people
of
Roome
,
opteined
with
so
greate
laboure
and
businesse
,
and
that
their
desire
was
to
accomplyshe
all
thinges
what
soo
euer
he
wolde
commaunde
them
.
Than
the
consull
gaue
them
in
charge
,
that
they
shulde
make
as
though
they
vehementely
fauoured
the
conspiracie
,
and
laboure
to
get
letters
of
theire
hande
wrytynge

sealed
with

slepte

the
entente
they
myghte
brynge
home
to
their
nacion

sure
knowledge
of
the
matter
.
For
otherwyse
they
sayde
their
citizens
coulde
not
be
perswaded
to
take
in
hande
so
greate
an
enterprise

Than
they
suspectynge

nothinge
more
perilous
,
than
to
put

Farther
they
gaue
them
in

as
shortely
as
coulde

shulde
come

was

found
to

deuised

L.

shulde

bycause
that
by

prouocacion
Catiline
had
reysed
vp

warre

And
by
that
token
,
the
nexte
night

,
L.
Cassius
,
and
P.
Statilius
shulde
set
fyre
on

partes
of

Which
was
done
for
this
consideracion
,
that
by
that
vprore
and
ruffelyng
,
they
might
more
easely
murder
the
citizens
.
Notwithstanding
ther
is
a
certeine
author
that
saith
that
they
had
chosen
oute
an
hundred
men
,
which
shulde
set
fire
on
an
hundred
places
of
the
citie

and
certeine
were
appointed
to
defende

stoppe
the
wayes
to
the
cundites
,
and
to
sley
al
such
as
endeuored
them selues
to
quenche
the
fire
.
Also
they
chose
oute
a
certeine
,
whiche
shulde
besiege
Pompeys
house
,
and
take
his
chyldren
a
lyue
,
and
kepe
them
as
it
were
in
hostage
,
therby
to
wynne
and
reteine
the
friendshyppe
of
Gu.
Pompeius

which
at
that
season
ledde
a
myghty
great
hoste

and
it
was
nowe
reported
for
a
surety
,
that
he
had
accomplyshed
many
very
great
warres
,
and
wold
shortly
returne
into
Italie

Further
it
was
appointed
that
C.
Cethegus
shoulde
assayle
Ciceros
house
with
the
sword
and
fire
,

had
the
charge
to
sley

The

shulde
be
numbred
by
the

led
by
Gabinius

And
amonge
theym
also
was
lymitted
who
shuld

who

market
place

who
the
portes

and
who
the

Moreouer
they
ordeyned
(

,
and
fyll
all

And
whan
the
citye
were
all
set

Catiline
shuld
be
redy
with

wolde
fle
,
and
ioyne
hym selfe
wyth
these
capitaines
that
were
in

Here
I
marueyle
,
seeynge
Cicero
saieth
these
thynges
were
thus
appointed
,
wherfore
Salust
shuld
declare
them
to
be
other
wise
deuised
amonge

For
hee
writeth
that
Gabinius
tooke
vppon
hym

that
Cassius
shulde
go
into

:
whan
contrarye
wyse
Gabinius
was
appoynted
capitaine
of
the
slaughter
,
and
Cassius
of

But
yet
in
thys
thing
,
I
suppose
more
credence
shuld
be
geuen
to

disclosed

For
slowyng
and
delaye
may
surely
do
great
hurt
,
but
no
profite
.
Wherfore
take
hede
Lentulus
,
lest
thys
thy
shorte
and
lytell
tyme
be
ouer
much
,
yea
and
more
then
ouer
long
.
Then
when
all
the
other
answered
,
it
behoued
those
thynges
to
bee
done
at
the
feaste
of
Saturnus
,
Cethegus
was
soo
inflamed
,
and
so
wrothefullye
ranne
here
and
there
,
that
without
any
doubte
he
semed
to
waxe
rauinge
mad
:
he
smote
hym selfe
on
the
forehead
,
he
coulde
reste
in
noo
place
,
oftentymes
he
layde
hande
on
hys
sworde
:
Why
do
I
tary
sayd
he
?
his
countenaunce
was
full
of
furye
,
his
wordes
arrogant
and
proude
,
he
fomed
at
the
mouthe
,
his
eyes
glowed
,
his
crueltie
appeared
in
his
looke
.
Than
sayd
Cassius
:
Why
doste
thou
Cethegus
trouble
oure
ioyes
?
Why
doest
thou
(
sayd
he
)
delaye
oure
ioyes
?
And
he
sware
an
othe
,
that
if
a
fewe
wolde
folowe
hym
,
the
other
makyng
delaye
,
he
hym selfe
wolde
assaute
the
palayce
.
After
these
woordes
,
they
kepte
a
lytell
whyle
sylence
.
Than
spake
Lentulus
to
the
frenchmen
on
this
wyse
:
What
thynke
you
oure
Cethegus
woll
doo
that
nyghte
,
whan
euen
nowe
he
thynketh
to
come
to
hande
strokes
?
Thinke
you
that
the
consull
,
thoughe
he
haue
an
army
about
hym
,
can
withstand
this
most
valiaunte
man
?
Yee
saye
trothe
quod
they
:
for
wee
neuer
sawe
a
bolder
man
.
After
this
Lentulus
sayde
,
it
pleased
hym
,
that
the
Frenchemennne
,
in
the
same
iourney
before
they
wente
home
in
to
their
countreye
,
shoulde
go
vnto
Catiline
,
that
they
myght
confirme
the
leage
and
bonde
of
friendeshyppe
with
hym
?
And
he
appointed
one
Tytus
Vulturcius
to
accompany
and
conduite
them
vnto
Catiline
.
To
this
Vulturcius
he
gaue
letters
to
cary
to
Catiline
,
without
any
name
subscribed
:
but
after
this
maner
.
Who
I
am
,
ye
shall
knowe
of
hym
that
I
haue
sent
to
you
.
Loke
that
ye
playe
the
man
:
and
thinke
in
what
state
ye
be
:
and
se
what
is
now
behoueful
for
you
.
Take
hede
that
ye
refuse
no
mans
helpe
,
be
he
neuer
so
poore
.
Fare
well
.
Furthermore
he
sente
hym
worde
by
mouth
,
that
seynge
he
was
iudged
of
the
Senate
as
an
enemy
,
he
shulde
vse
the
ayde
and
helpe
of
bonde
men
,
and
that
he
shulde
set
forward
,
and
without
delaye
draw
toward
the
citie
.
For
in
the
city
al
things
were
diligently
prepared
&
redy
accordinge
to
his
appointement
.
Lastly
when
they
had
determined
,
that
the
frenche
ambassadoures
shuld
the
.iij.
nonas
decembris
departe
oute
of
the
citie

they
sente
them
away
with
Vulturcius
in
their
companye
.
About
the
same
tyme
M.
Crassus
came
by
nyghte
to
Cicros
house
with
letters
of
L.
Catiline
,
in
the
whiche
Catiline
exhorted
hym
,
as
one
priuie
to
the
conspiracye
,
to
strength
and
ayde
them
.
Cicero
thanked
hym
,
and
greatly
praised
the
good
wyll
and
loue
that
he
bare
to
hys
countrey
.
But
for
what
intente
Crassus
dyd
it
,
whether
because
he
wolde
not
be
reputed
a
felow
of
the
conspiracy
,
if
by
chaunce
it
happed
to
be
disclosed
,
or
else
that
he
ment
wel
and
truely
,
we
do
not
certeinly
knowe

Neuerthelesse
Cicero
in
a

oracion
whiche
after
Crassus
death
came
to
lyghte
,
writeth
that
M.
Crassus
was
companion
of

But
Cethegus
alway
blamed
his
felowes
,
bicause
thei
tarying
for
the
feast
of

,
let
slyp
a

He
sayde

All

Ceparius

fledde

was
taken

as
though
he
wolde

returned
shortely

When
the
frenche
men
hadde
informed
the

that
Cethegus

And
whan

No
truely
saide
he
,
but
I
haue
alwaye
had
a
desire
to
be
well
furnyshed
wyth
good
harnesses
.
Than
after
that
the
Senate
was
quickelye
assembled

he
commanded
the

to
come
forth
,
beynge

wyth

And
whan
Vulturtius

App.
Claudius

men
he
knewe
to
be
not
onelye
vertuous

faithefull
,
but
also
of
excellent
memory
and
knowledge
,
&
that
could
with
great
cele●itie
easely
regester
those
thynges
that
shulde

He
demaunded
of
Vulturcius

what
businesse
hee
had
with
the
frenche
menne
,
whither
he
was
goynge
,
to
whome
,
and
whoo
deliuered
to
hym
those
letters
that
were
founde
about
hym
.
At
the
fyrste
Vulturtius
beganne
to
feine
and
dissemble
many
thinges
concerninge
his
iourney
and
the
lettres
:
but
after
that
by
commandment
of
the
Senate
,
the
consull
had
warraunted
hym
,
he
sayde
,
hee
hadde
commendations
and
letters
of
P.
Lentulus
;
and
that
a
fewe
daies
past
he
was
allured
to
the
felowship
of
this
Conspiracy
by
Gabinius
and
Caparius
,
and
thus
he
harde
saye
,
that
P.

Seruius
.
Sylla
.
C.
Cornelius
.
L.
Vergunteius
,
and
many
other
were
of

conspiracy

and
that
they
had
consented
and
agred
to
burne
the
cyty
,
to
murder
the
citesens
,
to
wast
and
destroy
Italy
,
and
clerely
extinct
the
common
weale
.
When
the
french
men
were
brought
in
,
they
sayd
,
they
had
an
othe
and
letters
deliuered
them
to
beare
to
their
nation
:
and
that
they
herde
L.
Cassius
say
,
that
all
they
,
which
Vulturtius
had
before
named
were
bent
with
them
,
And
in
maner
they
told
that
self
same
that
Vulturtius
had
shewed
of
burnynge
sleing
,
and
murdering
of
the
citesins
.
And
they
shewed
what
a
great
strife
was
betwene
Cethegus
&
the
other
,
bicause
Lentulus
and
the
other
wold
do
this
feate
at
the
feast
of
Saturne
,
and
Cethegus
sayd
,
this
warre
requyred
great
spede

Furthermore
they
declared
all
that
Lentulus
had
spoken
vnto
theym
of
Sibils
prophecy
,
and
of
other
matters
,
by
whose
meanes
,
and
how
often
they
had
ben
with
hym
.
Then
M.
Tullius
caused
sodeinlye
the
letters
to
be
brought
forth
,
and
commanded
to
open
them
.
Fyrste
he
shewed
them
to
Cethegus
:
he
knowledged
his
hande
and
his
seale
,
the
letters
were
read
openly
,
the
sentence
or
effect
of
which
was
this
:
They
intended
surely
to
accomplyshe
those
thinges
that
they
hadde
confirmed
to
theire
ambassadoures
,
desiringe
that
they
wolde
performe
those
thynges
that
their
ambass●dours
vndertooke
.
Statilius
letters
were
read
,
the
effecte
of
which
was
lyke
the
other
.
After
that
the
consul
shewed
the
letters
to
Lentulus
,
saying
:
Knowest
not
thou
thys
seale
Lentulus
?
He
graunted
to
be
hys
,
This
is
(
sayde
the
consull
)
the
image
of
that
mooste
noble
manne
,
thy
graund
father
,
which
only
loued

cityzens
,
the
whych
domme
Image
ought
to
haue
reuoked
thy
mynde
from
so
horrible

And
he
inquired
of
hym
whether
he
had
not
talked
wyth
the
frenchemen
of
Sibyls
prophecie
?
And
sodeinly
he
confessed
it
,
whiche
no
manne
thought
he
wolde
haue
done
.
Than
he
had
licence
to
speke
in
his
defence
what
he
wolde
.
But
Lentulus
,
althoughe
he
were
a
good
oratour
,
yet
conuicted
of
his
owne
conscience
,
he
was
clene
discouraged
,
oute
of
countinaunce
,
changed
coloure
,
and
had
not
a
worde
to
speake
.
To
be
briefe
.
They
confessed
truthe
.
And
not
withstandynge
that
Gabinius
at
the
fyrste
beganne
styffely
to
denye
,
yet
at
the

he
disproued
nothynge

But
besyde

,
were
forced
with
prickyng
of
their
conscience
,
to
disclose
them selues
to
be
of
the
conspiracy
.
The
violence
of
their
conscience
is
great
:
L.
Tarquinius
caused
M.
Crassus
to
be
suspects
of
the
conspiracy
.
Cap.
xxxiiii

AT
THE
same
tyme
one
of
the
conspiratours
,
called
L.
Tarquinius
(
vpon
a
safeconducte
)
was
brought
before
the
Senate
,
to
open
and
shewe
what
he
knewe
of
the
conspiracie
:
and
hee
declared
to
them
the
same
thynges
that
the
frenche
ambassadoures
and
T.
Vulturcius
tolde
,
of
the
burnyng
of
the

of
the
murtherynge
of
the
cityzens
,
and
of
all
those
that
were
confederate
to
doo
this
myschiefe
.
Moreouer
he
saide
,
that
M.
Crassus
was
companion
and
partener
of
the
conspiracie
:
and
howe
he
hadde
certaine
messages
frome
hym
to
Catiline
,
that
he
shuld
not
be
discouraged
,
although
the
captaines
of
the
warre
in
the
citie
were
taken
&
in
hold
,
but
that
he
shuld
with
all
celeritie
and
speede
haste
hym
with
his
army
to

,
to
deliuer
the
conspiratours
oute
of
pryson
,
and
to
accomplyshe
all
other
thynges
amonge
them
ordeyned
and
appoynted
:
In
the
citye
all
thynges
was
full
of
feare
.
But
whan
Tarquinius
named
Crassus
,
many
of
his
familiar
friendes
,
of
whome
he
had
a
great
nombre
,
sayd
with
a
loude
voice
:
The
detectour
is
false
and
corrupted

IN
AL
thinges
honorable
fathers
(
sayd
they
)
whiche
are
mooste
greuous
and
cruell
,
what
anye
manne
woll
doo
or
imagine
,
shoulde
not
be
pondered
after
the
voyce
and
speeche
of
the
people
,
but
accordinge
to
his
lyfe
and
maners
,
whyche
is
accused
.
For
if
M.
Crassus
(
prudente
fathers
)
shulde
therfore
be
demed
culpable
,
bicause
Tarquinius
accuseth
hym
amonge
the
conspyratours
,
what
shoulde
it
profite
hym
,
to
haue
ledde
euer
more
hitherto
a
life
most
pure
withoute
blame
or
shame
?
What
dyfference
than
shall
there
be
betwene
the
good
menne
and
the
yuell
?
What
man
moste
innocente
or
vertuous
can
assure
hym self
from
deceytes
,
if
it
behoueth
to
gyue
credence
to
the
yuel
sayeng
of
euery
lewede
and
vngratious
person
?
But
if
we
shall
examine
the
lyfe
of
M.
Crassus
,
what
bodyly
lust
lurketh
,
what
mischeuous
dede
lieth
hydde
,
what
crueltye
,
or
what
braynsicke
boldenes
:
there
shall
be
neyther
errour
nor
obscuritie
in
the
cause
:
So
greate
is
the
greatnes
of
this
mischiefe
,
that
without
fylthy
youthe
,
without
many
yuel
dedes
before
committed
,
with
out
a
lyfe
defiled
with
all
damnable
actes
,
with
out
prodigall
expence
with
disworship
and
shame
,
without
vnbridled
boldnes
be
shewed
,
and
not
onely
braynsyke
boldnes
,
but
very
furor
and
madnes
,
no
manne
will
beleue
,
that
euer
he
wolde
entreprise
soo
heynous
,
so
cruel
,
and
so
bitter
a
dede
.
Furthermore
we
muste
lay
here
vnto
,
a
lust
to
rule
,
the
hate
of
peace
and
good
men
,
drede
of
punishement
,
dishonest
frendes
,

,

All
whiche
thynges
excepte
they
be
manyfest

truely
(
as
we
saye
)
so
vngratious
a
dede
so
cruell
,
and
so
farre
agaynst
all
reason
,
wyll
not
be
beleued
.
What
thynge
,
what
hope
,
what
lewde
luste
coude
enforce
Crassus
to
do
suche
a
dede
?
Coude
nede
or
scarsitie
compel
hym
,
whiche
is
so
riche
,
that
there
are
fewe
or
none
in
this
great
multitude
of
men
,
that
haue
more
aboundance
of
riches
?
Coude
ambition
,
whiche
oft
tymes
maketh
many
men
noughte
?
For
bothe
good
and
badde
desyre
glory
,
honour
,
rule
,
gouernaunces
of
prouinces
,
dignities
of
the
churche
,
and
triumphes
.
The
good
men
by
vertue
:
the
ille
men
mistrustyng
theyr
vnworthines
,
by
naughty

crafty
menes
crepe
vp
:
and
the
honours
whiche
they
,
thynges
beynge
in
quiet
and
good

,
despeyre
to
wynne
:
by
rufflynge
and
troubling
of
the
common
weale
,
they
thynke
to
opteyne
.
Than
thus
hath
not
Crassus
in
peace
&
rest
atteyned
vnto
the
moste
ample
and
highe
honours
of
the
Cytye
without
repulce
?
But
peraduenture
his
vngentyl
maners
fierce
cruelty
,
vnbridled
boldnes
enforced
Crassus
vnto
this
.
Who
is
more

then
he
?
Who
is
more
mylde
?
What
dede
dyd
we
euer
se
hym
do
,
ouer
boldly
,
or
wythout
good
aduisement
and
consideracion
?
We
omit
nowe
the
weale
publike
,
which
hath
euer
ben
to
Crassus
most
derely
beloued
.
We
speke
nothynge
of
his
estate
,
of
hys
maner
of
lyuinge
,
of
his

,
of
his
most
gentyl
conditions
,
of
his
incredible
loue
toward
good
men
,
of
hys
study
and
diligence
to
conserue
the
common
quiet
reste
and
peace
.
Nor
we
do
not
omit
those
thinges
,
as
though
they
were
not
of
most
weyghty
importance
but
bycause
they
are
to
you
notably
knowen
.
Is
it
than
credible
,
than
in
this
most
honest
mynde
,
in
this
lyfe
,
so
abhominable
a
dede
coulde
take
place
?
Loke
well
vnto
hym
,
and
beholde

.
Whold
Crassus
burne

sle

wast
Italy
,
destroye
the
weale
publyke
,
and
brynge
the

of

of
Rome
to

This
suspition
honorable
fathers
,
taketh
no
holde
on
this
pure
honest
mynde
,
on
this
lyfe
,
on
this
man
.
They
were
sauage
beastes
,
wylde
and
cruell
,
in
the
shape
of
men
,
that
went
aboute
to
destroye
those
thynges
.
And
what
ment
it
?
whan
Traquinius
named
Antronius
,
Vargunteius
,
Lecca
,
Seruius
,
Sylla
,
Cornelius
,
and
manye
other
,
that
ye
all
attentiuely
gaue

For
those
,
if
no
manne
wolde
accuse
them
,
yet
their
condicions
and
lyfe
woulde
conuince

But
whan
hee
beganne
to
name
M.
Crassus
,
dydde
not
euery

For
no
manne
demed
that
the
lyfe
of
anye
man
could
so
sodenly
be
changed
,
or

altered
:
that
he
which
a
lytle
before
was
the
beste
and
moste
honeste

,
wolde
anone

in

Consider
a
lytell
in
your

honorable
fathers
(
for
so
ye
shall
vnderstande
how
far
of

Crassus
is

and

Who
doth
marueile
,
that
Catiline
hath
conspired
against
the
weale
publike
?
beynge
of
all
men
(
sythe
man
was
firste
formed
)
the
most
muscheuest
,
the
most
cruel
,
and
the
most
fylthy
.
Whych
hath
defiled
so
many
worshypful
wyues
,
so
many
noble
yonge
men
,
whome
L.
Sylla
appointed
to
sley
the
knyghtes
of

:
amonge
the
whiche
hee
slewe
Catullus
his
systers
husbande
,
and
M.
Marius
moste
derely
beloued
of
the
people
of
Rome
.
Whiche
in
Affrica
destroyed
many
houses
,
spoyled
many
townes
,
and
all
the
temples
,
and
so
vexed
and
wasted
that
prouince
,
that
(
as
it
semed
)
it
coulde
scaselye
bee
restored
ageyne
in
many
yeres

In
whose
lyfe
there
can
be
founde
no
houre
voyde
from
aduoutrye
,
from
mourder
,
from
mischief
,
from
cruelty
,
from
doing
yl
dedes
,
whom
we
sawe
afterwardes
accused
of
petye
briberye
,
and
incest
:
&
whom
alway
al
men
thought
to
be
borne
to
make
discorde
and
variance
in
the
common

.
Who
wondereth
that
Lentulus
was
familierly
acqueinted
wyth
hym
,
seinge
he
was
nedye

bolde

lecherous
?
Wherto
shulde
we
reherse
the
furious
brainesyckenes
of
Cethegus
?
or
how
he
wounded
Pius
Metellus
?
Who
was
euer
more
stubborne
,
more
fierce
,
or
more
cruell
than
he
?
And
who
coulde
bee
founde
more
voluptuous
,
more
lecherous
,
more
deceiteful
than
Antronius
?
Whome
we
knewe
was
condempned
for
ambicion
,
whome
wee
knewe
committed
murther
,
and
spoiled
the
temples
of
our
confederate
friendes
.
It
were
an
infinite
busines
,
to
declare
to
you
all
their
deedes
.
But
it
is
your
part
honorable
fathers
,
though
we
reherse
them
not
,
keping
silence
inwardly
to
mynde
all
those
,
whiche
are
knowen
to
haue
conspired

For
ye
shall
wel
perceiue
eche
of
them
to
be
sooner
condempned
of
his
owne
lyfe
,
then
by
oure
suspicion
.
Dyddest
thou
than
thynke
Tarquinius
with
those
deteccions
to
brynge
Crassus
from
this
dignitie
of
familiars
,
in

,
in
to
thys
nombre
of
wicked

?
Is
it
not
now
apparant
,
honorable
fathers
,
that
those
crimes
are
feyned
?
Do
ye
not
se
that
thynge
,
that
the
detector

sayd
of
Crassus
,
corrupted
eyther
wyth
meede

or
with

depraued

or

to
procede
of

Wherfore
let
not
this

lye
open
to

,
that
who
so
euer

hym
by

in
false

appealed
,
he
may
rydde
out

Suffer

Reteyne

Finally

¶
The
decree
of
the
Senate
for
M.
Crassus
,
the
suspition
agenst
Cicero
,
and
his
purgation
.
Cap.
xxxvi
.
FOR
as
much
as
somme
thought
this
thing
incredible
,
and
some
other
though
they
beleued
it
,
yet
knowynge
the
manne
to
be
soo
myghty
puissaunt
and
rich
,
in
suche
a
troublous
time
,
demed
it
better
by
all
wayes
and
meanes
to
reteyne
his
fauour
,
than
stere
hym
to
displeasure
,
the
Senate
decreed
,
Tarquinius
detection
to
be
false
,
he
to
be
committed
to
prison
,
and
clene
to
be
put
to
silence
,
excepte
he
wolde
shewe
,
who
instanted
hym
to
feyne
soo
great
a
thynge
.
There
were
somme
the
same
season
that
thought
this
detector
had
bene
subornated
by
P.
Antronius
,
to
th
end
that
Crassus
,
for
the
danger
of
their
felowshyp
,
shulde
with
his
riches
helpe
the
conspiratours
.
Other
there
were
among
the
which
also
was
Crassus
him selfe
,
whiche
beleued
,
that
this
man
was
craftily
broughte
in
by
Cicero
,
to
th
ende
that
Crassus
for
this
suspition
,
shulde
not
take
vpon
hym
the
defence
of
those
that
were
in
prison
.
Whervpon
there
arose
exceding
greate
hatred
betwene
Crassus
and
Cicero
.
But
the
yonge
man
P.
Crassus
,
the
preisar
,
the
folower
,
and
louer
of
Cicero
,
did
let
Crassus
to
pursue
Cicero
openly
.
But
by
whose
counsayle
Tarquynius
was
craftylye
brought
in
,
as
yet
we
know
not
the
certaynety
.
We
beleue
not
,
that
it
was
Ciceros
drifte
.
For
this
is
playne
,
that
Q.
Catulus
and
C.
Piso
,
Cesars
enemies
,
coulde
for
no
fauour
opteyne
of
hym
,
that
C.
Ceser
eyther
by
the
frenche
ambassadoures
,
or
by
any
other
detectour
,
shuld
be
named
to
be
in
the
conspiracy
of
Catiline
.
And
I
fynde
that
Cicero
in
this
busines
bare
hym selfe
very
vpryghtly
with
out
any
parcialyte
.
He
neyther
accused
any
man
as
culpable
of
this
mischiuous
dede
wyth
out
a
clere
probation
,
or
kepte
secrete
for
frendship
,
or
for
mede
conceled

man
.
¶
Of
Lentulus
and
his
felowes
sedition
seruantes
bond
and
fre
,
and
wonderfull
token
shewed
to
Cicero
.
Cap.
xxxvii
,
WHILE
these
thinges
were
in
doinge
all
Lentulus
and
Cethegus
seruantes
bonde
and
free
,
ran
aboute
from
tauerne
to
tauerne
,
from
shoppe
to
shope
to
stur
vp
the
myndes
with
mede
of
suche
as
were
nedy
and
naught
.
And
whan
they
had
reysed
vp
a
great
rout
of
craftis
menne
,
they
by
dyuers
wayes
prepared
to
inuade
the
Pretors
houses
.
But
the
Consull
hauynge
knowlege
therof
had
in
his
mynd
many
imaginations
,
what
shulde
be
done
with
the
conspiratours
that
were
take
.
and
in
holde
,
if
he
shuld
do
punishemente
on
them
,
the
conspiracy
were
extyncte
:
but
being
milde
and
mercifull
in
all
his
lyfe
,
he
dradde
the
name
of
cruelty
:
and
right
wel
forsawe
,
that
for
this
matter
he
shulde
in
time
to
come
be
in
danger
of
great
hatred
and
enuie
.
Whyle
he
mused
on
this
matter
,
somme
wryte
,
that
this
wonderfull
token
was
shewed
to
hym
,
as
they
were
doinge
sacrifice
in
his
house
for
the
people
,
on
the
alter
,
the
fire
beyng
almoste
quenched
,
sodeynly
out
of
the
ashes
and
imbers
,
a
longe
and
a
pure
flame
burned
vp
bright
,
and
answere
was
made
by
the
diuinours
,
that
Cicero
shuld
not
doubt
to
accomplishe
those
thinges
for
the
common
weale
,
wherabout
he
in
his
mind
so
much
mused
,
&
that
thereby
to
hym
of
the
goddes
immortall
was
sygnified
great
fame
and
glory
.
I
dare
not
affirme
,
whether
this
be
true
or
no
,
because
we
reade
that
such
sacrifice
for
the
people
was
not
wont
to
be
done
in
the
consuls
house
,
but
alwaies
in
the
high
byshops
.
Furthermore
Cicero
was
nothing
moued
with
such
wonderfull
sygnes
&
tokens
.
¶
The
sentence
of
D.
Syllanus
and
other
noble
men
gyuen
agaynst
the
conspiratours
.
Cap.
xxxviii
.
THAN
the
consull
strongelye
fortifyed
the
citye
,
and
with
all
celeritie
and
spede
assembled
the
Senate
,
and
required
their
aduise
what
shulde
be
donne
with
those
that
were
in
holde
.
Than
D.
Sillanus
,
elected
to
bee
consull
,
was
first
desired
to
say
his
mind
,
whose
sentence
was
,
that
those
that
were
in
warde
,
also
L.
Cassius
,
whyche
desyred
to
be
charged
with
the
burnynge
of
the
citye
.
P.
Furius
,
Manlius
Chilo
,
Q.
Annius
,
P.
Vmbrenus
,
which
were
alwaye
occupied
in
solicitynge
the
frenche
ambassadours
(
if
they
myghte
be
taken
)
shulde
be
put
to
deathe
.
To
this
agreed
the
other
that
had
ben
or
like
to
be
consuls
,
and
namely
Q.
Catulus
,
in
an
oracion
ful
of
seueritie
,
sayd
that
the
conspiratours
oughte
not
to
lyue
and
enioye
this
lyghte
one
momente
of
an
houre
.
But
whan
it
came
to
C.
Cesar
,
and
T.
Nero
,
to
saye
their
myndes
,
they
began
to
reason
the
contrarye
,
and
sayde
.
They
oughte
not
to
be
put
to
deathe
,
bycause
the
lawes
dyde
it
prohibyte
,
but
their
iudgement
was
that
the
conspiratours
,
their
goodes
beyng
confiscate
,
shuld
be
sundred
and
surely
kepte
in
dyuerse
holdes
vntyll

IT
becommeth
all
menne
,
honorable
fathers
,
whiche
shall
gyue
counsayle
and
saye
their
aduise
in
matters
doubtfull
,
to
be
cleane
without

,

,

and

The

where
those
affections
beare
a

,
nor
no
man
at

and
the
profit
of
the
weale
publyke
,
where
vnto
a

there

.
If

she

,
reason

I
coulde
abundantly
recyte
vnto
you
honorable
fathers
.
what
kinges
and
people
moued
with
wrath
or
mercy
,
haue
ylle
and
hurtfully
ordered
theym selfes
in
consultation
,
but
I
wyll
rather
reherse
to
you
,
what
our
forefathers
haue
done
wel
&
ordinatly
ageynst
their
natural
inclination
.
¶
In
the
warre
of
Macedony
,
which
we
made
ageinst
the
kynge
of
Persy
,
the
great
and
myghty
cyty
of
Rhodes
(
whiche
increased
in
greate
ryches
by
the
goodes
of
the
people
of
Rome
)
was
vnto
vs
contrarye
and
vnfaithful
.
But
after
the
war
was
finished
,
they
counceled
what
shulde
be
done
of
the
Rhodians
:
Our
forefathers
let
them
go
vnpunished
,
lest
any
man
shulde
saye
,
that
the
warre
was
begun
ageynste
theym
,
more
for
wynnyng
of
ryches
than
to
reuenge
iniurye
.
Also
in
al
the
warres
Punycke
,
whan
the
Carthaginois
,
ofte
tymes
bothe
in
tyme
of
peace
and
truce
dyd
many
detestable
deedes
ageynste
all
ryght
,
yet
our
forefathers
hauyng
accasyon
,
neuer
dyd
such
thinges
,
they
sought
more
,
what
became
them
,
then
what
they
myght
laufully
do
ageynst
their
enemies
.
This
thing
also
,
honorable
fathers
shuld
of
you
be
foresene
,
leste
the
detestable
deede
of
P
Lentulus
,
and
the
other
conspiratours
,
shuld
more
inforce
you
to
reueng
,
than
besemeth
your
dygnyty
,
or
rather
incline
to
your
wrathe
,
than
to
your
honorable
fame
.
For
if
worthy
punyshmente
for
their
deedes
be
founde
,
I
approue
new
council
.
But
if
the
gretnes
of
the
mischeuous
dede
both
passe
all
mens
wyts
my
mynd
is
to
vse
those
punishmentes
which
are
ordeyned
by
the
lawes
:
Many
of
them
that
before
me
haue
sayd
theyr
mindes
,
discretely
and
magnificently
haue
bewailed
the
decay
of
the
common
weale
,
and
haue
full
eloquently
reckened
vp
,
how
cruel
a
thing
warre
is
,
what
yuels
chanceth
to
them
that
are
conquered
,
the
virgins
rauished
the
yong
babes
and
children
vyolently
pulled
out
of
the
fathers
and
mothers
armes
,
the
honeste
wyues
must
suffre
what
soo
euer
please
the
subduers
,
the
temples
and
houses
are
spoyled
,
slaughter
,
and
burnynges
are
done
,
finally
all
thinges
fylled
with
armour
,
carcases
,
bloud
,
and
lamentations
.
But
tell
me
I
praye
you
,
wherto
serueth
that
oration
?
was
it
to
stomake
you
ageynst
the
conspiracy
?
If
so
greate
and
so
cruell
a
dede
will
not
moue
a
mans
spirites
,
shall
an
oration
kendell
hym
?
It
is
not
lykely
.
Nor
there
is
no
mortall
creature
that
thinkethe
his
wronges
littell
:
many
haue
taken
these
their
iniuries
more
greuousely
than
ryght
required
.
But
some
thinge
honorable
fathers
may
better
be
suffered
in
some
men
than
in
other
some
.
If
the
priuate
persons
,
that
lyue
obscurely
vnknowen
,
commit
through
anger
any
dishoneste
dede
:
Fewe
knowe
it
.
Their
fame
&
fortune
are
egal
.
The
greate
rulars
and
hygh
gouernours
,
all
men
knowe
their
actes
.
So
in
hyghest
felycitie
,
is
least
libertye
to
do
a
mysse
.
It
besemeth
suche
menne
not
to
be
spitefull
,
not
to
beare
hatred
,
but
in
no
wyse
to
be
angry
.
The
affection
which
in
other
is
called
anger
in
the
hygh
rulars
is
named
Pride
and
crueltie
.
Surely
,
honorable
fathers
,
I
deme
all
turmentes
lasse
than
their
detestable
dedes
.
But
many
men
remembring
the
last
punishementes
,
and
forgettinge
the
mischeuous
dede
of
the
transgressours
,
they
reason
of
the
peyne
,
whether
it
be
more
cruell
than
it
shulde
be
.
I
surely
knowe
,
that
what
so
euer
the
honorable
and
moste
valiant
man
.
D.
Syllanus
hathe
sayde
,
he
spake
it
for
the
great
affection
that
he
beareth
to
the
common
weale
.
Neyther
hath
he
in
so
weyghty
a
cause
,
said
any
thynge
for
fauour
,
nor
yet
for
hatred
,
I
know
his
maners
and
sobrenes
to
be
suche
.
Truly
his
sentence
to
me
semeth
not
cruel
(
for
what
cruelty
can
be
done
to
suche
menne
,
but
yet
not
all
thynge
agreable
to
the
common
weale
.
For
certeynely
either
dreade
or
iniury
hath
constreyned
you
Syllanus
,
chosen
consull
for
the
yere
to
come
,
to
adiudge
the
conspiratours
to
suffer
a
new
kynde
of
punishement
.
As
touchyng
feare
,
to
reason
therof
it
were
but
in
vayne
,
namely
sith
the
great
dyligence
of
the
noble
consul
hathe
soo
strongly
warded
and
defended
the
cyty
with
men
of
armes
.
As
concernynge
their
punishment
,
I
may
speke
as
the
truthe
is
,
that
death
to
those
that
be
in
heuynes
and
misery
is
not
a
tourmente
,
but
rather
a
quyet
and
rest
from
all
wofull
wretchednes
.
For
death
fynishethe
all
griefes
and
euyls
that
mortall
creatures
endure
.
But
I
pray
you
Syllane
,
why
dyd
you
not
adde
,
that
they
shulde
be
fyrst
beaten
?
was
it
bycause
the
lawe
Portia
,
or
some
other
lawes
do
prohibit
it
?
Lykewyse
the
lawes
forbyd
that
citezins
condemned
shulde
be
put
to
death
,
but
they
commaunde
to
banishe
them
.
Left
ye
that
vnspoken
,
bycause
it
is
more
greuous
to
be
beaten
,
than
to
be
put
to
deathe
?
And
yet
what
punyshemente
is
to
cruell
or
greuous
to
men
conuicte
of
soo
greate
and
detestable
a
deede
?
But
if
you
spake
not
of
beatynge
,
bycause
it
is
easier
?
howe
inconuenient
is
it
to
feare
the
lawe
in
the
lesse
busines
,
and
to
neglecte
it
in
the
greater
?
For
who
shall
reprehend
that
that
is
decreed
ageynst
traitours
to
the
common
weale
?
Tyme
,
day
,
fortune
,
after
whose
luste
nations
are
ruled
.
To
them
what
soo
euer
euyll
hapneth
,
chanceth
accordyng
to
their
deseruinges
.
But
consider
honorable
fathers
,
what
lawes
ye
ordeyne
for
other
.
All
euyl
examples
take
their
beginning
of
good
thinges
for
after
imperial
gouernaunce
instituted
by
good
men
,
came
to
the
handling
of
those
that
were
euyl
:
the
new
example
was
transferred
from
the
worthy
and
mete
,
to
the
vnworthy
&
vnmet
persones
.
Whan
the
Lacedemonians
had
subdued
the
Athemenses
,
they
ordeyned
.xxx.
menne
to
rule
the
common
weale
.
They
at
the
fyrst
put
no
man
to
death
but
suche
as
for
their
offences
were
iustely
condemned
.
The
people
was
ryght
glade
of
this
law
,
and
sayde
,
it
was
very
well
done
.
But
after
,
this
licence
increasinge
by
littell
and
littel
,
they
slewe
for
their
pleasure
as
well
good
men
as
bad
,
and
put
the
other
in
feare
,
and
so
the
citie
beynge
oppressed
with
bondage
and
thraldome
,
they
greuously
repented
theyr
former
folyshe
gladnes
.
¶
We
remembre
,
Sylla
hauynge
the
vpper
hande
,
commaunded
Dasippus
and
suche
other
hope lostes
,
that
were
growen
riche
,
to
the
great
hurte
of
the
common
weeale
,
to
be
put
to
dethe
.
Who
dyd
not
preyse
hys
dede
?
They
sayd
,
vngratious
and
detestable
persons
,
and
such
as
with
sedi●ions
troubled
the
common
weale
,
were
well
and
iustely
put
to
dethe
.
But
that
thinge
was
the
beginning
of
a
greate
mischefe
.
For
if
any
of
Syllas
souldiours
coueted
to
haue
any
mans
house
in
the
citye
,
manour
in
the
countrey
,
iewell
,
or
garmente
,
¶
The
oracion
and
sentence
of
Ceaser
,
pleased
very
much
euen
the
frendes
of
Cicero
.
Cap.
xl
,
WITH
this
oracion
of
Ceasar
,
soo
much
altred
were
mens
mindes
quickly
,
&
suche
dred
of
false
accusatyon
&
cruelty
toke
theim
:
that
D.
Sillanus
greatlye
repented
hym
of
his
sentence
,
that
he
was
the
principall
and
chiefe
that
iudged
the
conspiratoures
to
deathe
:
and
was
glad
aftewardes
wyth
interpretacion
to
myttigate
his
sentence
(
for
shame
it
was
to
change
it
)
and
so
to
folowe
the
iudgement
of
Tiberius
Nero.
And
some
other
there
were
,
that
wold
rather
seme
more
bolder
in
geuing
sentence
,
which
said
:
They
minded
nothing
their
owne
perilles
,
but
feared
lest
the
consul
shulde
not
be
stronge
ynoughe
to
accomplyshe
their
ordinaunces
.
But
the
frendes
and
kinsefolke
of
the
consul
were
most
specially
moued
wyth
thys
oracion
.
They
consideringe
what
greate
enuye
and
hatered
of
the
commune
people
myght
here
after
aryse
against
Cicero
,
if
the
senat
breakynge
the
lawe
Portia
,
shulde
without
the
consente
of
the
people
,
put
noble
citezins
to
deathe
,
they
all
agreed
to
the
sentence
of
Caesar
,
and
prayed
the
consul
that
he
wolde
loke
to
his
owne
saluegard
and
profit
,
neyther
colde
they
in
the
meane
whyle
absteyne
from
teares
.
Caesar
,
by
his
oration
drawynge
soo
many
to
hym
,
among
whom
was
also
Qu.
Cicero
,
had
obteyned
his
purpose
,
if
the
oration
of
the
most
prudent
consul
,
and
Cato
,
had
not
encouraged
the
senatours
myndes
,
that
began
to
quayle
.
The
consul
was
of
nature
mylde
and
mercifull
,
but
except
he
shuld
than
haue
shewed
sharpenes
,
he
sawe
the
weale
publyke
lyke
to
be
brought
in
to
greate
daunger
.
For
if
they
shewed
them selfe
more
softe
and
gentle
,
they
deemed
that
the
conspiratours
shoulde
be
the
bolder
and
more
encouraged
,
and
in
the
meane
tyme
,
some
commocion
myght
ryse
in
the
citye
.
But
if
they
shewed
them selues
very
vehemente
againste
those
that
were
taken
,
he
foresawe
that
all
the
puissaunce
,
all
the
hoope
,
all
the
ryches
of
the
conspiratours
,
these
perylles
of
the
citye
beinge
put
awaye
,
shulde
sodeinelye
quaile

And
thoughe
he
vnderstode
,
that
thys
thynge
could
not
be
brought
to
passe
wythoute
great
daungeir
of
his
owne
lyfe
,
yet
so
derely
loued
he
the
common
weale
that
he
more
estemed
the
welth
publyke
,
than
his
owne
lyfe
.
Than
whan
he
sawe
the
senate
inclinynge
to
Caesars
sentence
,
coueting
to
slaye

ISE

I

Many

Nowe

that

al
Italy
from

and
destruccion
,
what
soo
euer
fortune
is
appointed
to
me
onely
,
I
wyll
aduenture

.
For
if
P.
Lentulus
,
induced
by
the
southesayers
,
thoughte
that
hys
name
was
predestinate
to
destroie
the

,
why
shoulde
not
I
reioyse
that
my

is
ordeyned
for
the
conseruacion
of
the
same
common
weale
?
Wherefore
honorable
fathers
,
prouide
for
your selues
,
see
too
the
sauegarde
of
youre

saue

take

For

For
vnto

Consull
,
it
commeth
not

it

And

,
and
with
the
teares
of
all
those
,
whiche
ye
se
inuiron
me
about
:
also
my
wyfe
that
is
halfe
deade
,
oftentimes
reuoketh
my
minde
homewardes
,
and
my
doughter
well
nere
deade
for
feare
,
and
my
litell
sonne
,
the
whiche
seemeth
to
me
,
dothe
imbrace
the
common
weale
,
as
a
pledge
of
my
consulshyppe
,
nor
my
sonne
in
lawe
,
that
standeth
here
awaytinge
the
ende
of
this
day
all
these
thynges
doo
moue
me
,
but
yet
in
suchewyse
,
that
all
shuld
be
in
sauetie
with
vs
,
yea
rather
I
wold
some
vyolence
shoulde
oppresse
me
,
than
they
,
and
we
with
the
common
weale
shoulde
perysshe
togyther
.
Wherfore
honourable
fathers
,
stycke
to
the
sauegarde
of
the
common
weale
,
prouyde
surelye
for
all
stormes
that
maye
falle
.
Withoute
ye
take
good
hede
,
not
T.
Gracchus
,
whiche
wolde
ones
agayne
be
made
protectour
of
the
comminaltie
,
nor
C.
Gracchus
,
that
went
about
to
reuyue
the
lawes
Agrarie
,
nor
L.
Saturninus
,
which
slew
C.
Memmius
,
is
brought
to
any
ieopardy
,
or
to
your
sharpe
iudgemente
:
but
they
are
in
holde
,
that
taryed
styll
in
Rome
,
to
bourne
the
citie
,
to
mourder
you
al
,
and
so
to
receyue
in
Catilin
.
We
haue
theyr
letters
,
theyr
seales
,
theyr
owne
hand
writynges
and
fynally
eche
of
theyr
own
confessions
.
The
frenche
ambassatours
are
sollicited
,
the
slaues
and
seruauntes
are
styrred
vp
,
Catilyne
is
sent
for
.
This
councel
haue
they
taken
,
that
all
beyng
slayne
,
no
man
shuld
be
left
,
to
bewayle
the
name
of
the
common
weale
,
and
to
lament
the
calamitie
of
so
great
an
empire
.
All
these
thinges
the
detectours
haue
declared
,
the
accused
haue
confessed
.
You
haue
iudged
it
by
manye
tokens
soo
to
bee
:
Fyrst
in
that
ye
haue
geuen
me
hygh
thankes
in
special
wordes
,
and
haue
affirmed
,
that
by
mine
industrie
and
diligence
,
the
conspiracy
of
these
hope lostes
,
is
openly
knowen
:
further
in
that
ye
haue
compellyd
Lentulus
to
yelde
vp
his
office
of
Pretorshyp
.
And
in
that
ye
haue
gyuen
sentence
,
that
he
and
the
other
shoulde
be
commytted
to
ward
,
and
specially
that
ye
haue
decreed
procession
to
be
made
in
my
name
,
whiche
honour
was
neuer
done
to
any
man
in
tyme
of
peace
before
me
.
Finally
,
in
that
ye
rewarded
yesterday
so
magnyficently
the
frenche
ambassatours
and
T.
Vulturtius
.
All
whiche
thynges
are
of
suche
forte
,
that
they
whiche
by
name
ar
put
in
holde
,
wythout
doubt
seme
of
you
to
be
condemned
.
But
I
determyned
to
referre
holly
vnto
you
honorable
fathers
,
bothe
what
you
wyll
iudge
of
the
dede
,
&
what
you
wyll
determyne
touchynge
the
punyshment
.
I
wyll
shewe
you
before
,
what
pertayneth
to
the
consul
.
¶
I
behelde
not
longe
sence
,
great
furye
waltrynge
in
the
weale
publyke
,
and
some
new
myschefes
a
brewing
.
But
I
neuer
thought
this
so
great
and
so
mortall
a
conspiracy
to
be
enterprised
of
the
citesens
.
Now
,
what
soeuer
it
be
,
whither
soo
euer
youre
myndes
and
sentences
inclyne
,
it
muste
be
determyned
er
nyght
.
You
see
vnto
howe
greate
a
daunger
we
be
brought
,
wherunto
yf
ye
thynke
,
a
fewe
are
confederate
,
you
are
farre
wyde
.
This
myschiefe
is
sprawled
abrode
further
than
you
thynke
:
For
it
hath
not
onely
ouerflowen
Italy
,
but
is
also
runne
ouer
the
mountayns
Alpes
,
preuily
crepyng
forth
,
hath
now
inuaded
many
prouinces
.
This
thynge
in
no
wyse
can
be
oppressed
by
sustaynyng
and
prolongyng
therof
.
What
so
euer
way
it
pleaseth
you
to
take
,
you
must
spedily
determyne
ther
vppon
.
I
se
there
are
two
sundrye
sentences
,
one
of
Syllanus
,
whose
iugement
was
,
that
they
,
whiche
were
bent
on
this
greate
mischiefe
shulde
be
put
to
deth
.
The
other
of
C.
Cesar
the
whiche
dysalowyng
the
punyshment
of
deth
,
wolde
they
shuld
suffer
all
greuous
peyne
,
and
tourmente
.
Eyther
of
them
,
accordyng
to
his
dignitie
,
and
weyght
of
the
cause
,
with
greate
grauitie
handlyd
the
matter
.
The
one
thought
,
that
they
whiche
indeuoured
theym selfe
,
to
slee
vs
all
,
and
the
people
of
Rome
,
whiche
wolde
distroye
the
empyre
,
that
wolde
extincte
the
name
of
Romaynes
,
were
not
worthye
to
lyue
the
mynute
of
an
howre
.
And
that
kynd
of
punyshmente
oftentymes
executed
vppon
suche
naughtie
citesens
in
this
common
weale
,
remaneth
or
recorde
.
The
other
vnderstandethe
that
dethe
is
not
ordeyned
of
the
goddis
immortall
,
as
a
punishmente
,
but
as
necessitie
of
nature
,
or
els
a
reste
from
trauayle
and
myseries
.
Therfore
wise
men
neuer
grutched
agaynst
it
,
yea
oftentymes
they
wyth
a
hardy
courage
,
and
wyllyngly
desyred
death
.
And
to
lye
in
yrons
perpetually
in
pryson
,
is
a
syngular
punyshmente
inuented
for
heynous
offences
.
He
wyllethe
,
that
they
shulde
be
seuered
into
sundry
townes
,
whiche
thinge
if
he
wolde
haue
commaunded
,
standeth
but
lytel
with
equitie
,
if
he
wolde
desyre
it
,
it
semeth
a
harde
thynge
to
be
done
:
yet
if
it
please
you
,
let
it
be
so
decreed
.
For
I
wyll
take
it
vpon
me
,
and
I
trust
to
fynde
theym
,
that
wyll
not
thynke
it
to
be
agaynst
theyr
dignitie
and
honoure
,
to
do
that
ye
shall
ordeyne
for
the
wealthe
of
vs
all
.
He
chargeth
the
townsmen
with
a
greate
penaltie
,
if
any
of
them
breake
prison
,
and
wold
they
shuld
be
surely
kepte
and
hath
appoynted
peynes
mete
for
suche
greuous
offenders
,
and
that
there
shall
no
man
labour
,
neyther
by
the
senate
,
nor
by
the
people
,
to
mitigate
the
punysshementes
that
they
are
condempned
to
suffre
.
Also
he
taketh
away
the
hope
,
whiche
only
is
wonte
to
be
a
mans
comfort
in
misery
:
and
moreouer
he
wylleth
theyr
goodes
to
be
confiscate
.
The
lyfe
onely
he
leaueth
to
those
wycked
offendours
,
whiche
if
he
wolde
haue
taken
away
:
with
one
griefe
he
shulde
haue
dispatched
theym
of
many
tribulations
of
mynde
and
bodye
,
and
of
all
peynes
of
transgressions
.
And
bycause
the
yl
doers
in
theyr
lyfe
shulde
stande
in
some
dreede
,
our
forefathers
sayd
,
that
suche
peynes
as
be
in
hell
were
ordeyned
for
wycked
lyuers
,
meanynge
therby
,
that
yf
the
feare
of
suche
infernall
peynes
were
taken
away
,
men
wolde
no
whyt
be
arfayde
of
deathe
.
¶
Nowe
honorable
fathers
,
I
see
howe
thys
thynge
toucheth
me
,
yf
you
shulde
folowe
Ceasars
mynde
,
bycause
he
leaueth
to
the
way
of
the
common
weale
,
that
is
acceptable
to
the
people
,
peraduenture
I
shall
not
nede
greatly
to
feare
the
furius
rage
of
the
people
,
he
being
the
author
of
this
sentence
,
but
if
you
will
folowe
the
other
sentence
,
I
doubte
whether
it
shall
turne
me
to
more
busines
yea
or
nay
.
But
yet
the
profyte
of
the
common
weale
wayeth
more
with
me
,
than
all
myne
owne
perylles
.
We
haue
also
Ceasars
mynde
and
sentence
(
accordyng
to
his
honourable
estate
,
and
as
it
be
semeth
a
man
descended
of
so
noble
a
linage
)
as
a
pledge
of
his
contynuall
good
wyll
to
the
common
weale
.
And
we
vnderstande
,
what
dyfference
is
betwene
the
myldnes
of
oratours
,
and
hym
that
truly
loueth
the
people
,
and
tendreth
theyr
welth
.
I
se
that
some
of
them
,
which
wolde
be
sene
to
fauor
the
people
,
be
absente
,
bycause
they
wyll
not
gyue
sentence
of
deathe
agaynste
the
citizens
of
Rome
.
This
man
not
thre
dayes
past
,
commytted
towarde
Cethegus
,
and
P.
Lentulus
citesens
of
Rome
,
and
decreed
vnto
me
porcession
,
and
yesterday
he
gaue
great
rewardes
to
the
detectours
of
the
conspiracy
.
Nowe
there
is
noo
manne
that
doubteth
,
what
his
mynde
and
iudgemente
is
concerninge
all
this
busynes
,
whiche
committed
the
offendours
to
warde
,
that
so
greatly
thanked
the
Questor
,
and
decreed
the
detector
to
be
so
highly
rewarded
.
But
C.
Cesar
vnderstandeth
the
lawe
Sempronia
to
be
constituted
and
made
for
the
citesens
of
Rome
:
but
he
that
is
an
enemye
to
the
common
welthe
,
can
in
noo
wyse
be
a
citisyn
,
and
farther
the
selfe
maker
of
the
lawe
Sempronie
,
was
by
commaundement
of
the
people
greuously
punyshed
.
He
also
demeth
Lentulus
to
be
lyberall
and
not
prodygall
:
and
that
he
,
that
so
sharply
,
so
cruelly
imagened
,
by
that
meanes
he
myght
destroye
his
common
weale
,
and
confounde
this
citie
,
maye
be
called
a
fouourer
of
the
people
.
And
so
this
moste
mylde
and
courteys
man
doubteth
not
to
commande
,
that
Lentulus
shulde
lyue
perpetually
fettred
in
darke
prison
.
Also
he
hathe
establyshed
,
that
no
man
hereafter
booste
hym selfe
,
that
he
mytigated
his
peyne
,
&
that
no
man
,
offending
ageinste
the
comon
weale
,
be
rekned
a
fauourer
of
the
people
.
He
wylleth
furthermore
,
theyr
goodes
shulde
be
confiscate
,
that
beside
all
theyr
tormentes
of
mynde
and
body
,
they
woulde
be
oppressed
wyth
nede
and
pouertye
.
Wherfore
whether
ye
wyll
determin
this
,
ye
must
cause
the
people
to
here
me
with
loue
and
fauoure
:
Or
if
ye
wyll
rather
folowe
the
sentence
of
Sillanus
,
ye
shall
easylie
defende
bothe
you
and
me
from
blame
of
crueltie
.
And
yet
honorable
fathers
,
what
crueltie
can
there
be
,
in
punyshyng
so
greate
and
so
cruell
a
dede
?
Truely
I
speake
according
to
my
mynde
:
for
so
mote
I
wyth
you
enioye
the
common
weale
,
as
I
,
that
in
this
cause
am
ryght
vehemente
,
am
not
moued
with
anye
crueltye
of
minde
.
For
who
is
more
milder
than
I
?
but
yet
after
a
certayne
singuler
humanitie
and
mercie
.
For
why
me
thinketh
that
I
see
this
citie
,
the
lanterne
of
the
hole
worlde
,
and
the
fortres
of
defence
for
all
nacions
,
sodeinely
burninge
fall
in
desolacion
.
I
see
in
my
minde
oure
countreye
cleane
destroied
,
and
the
miserable
heapes
of
cityzens
lye
vnburied
.
The
furious
loke
of
Cethegus
frantike
madde
in
the
slaughter
of
you
,
is
neuer
oute
of
my
syghte
.
Whan
I
call
to
remembraunce
Lentulus
,
reigninge
lyke
a
kynge
,
lyke
as
he
confessed
to
haue
seene
him selfe
by
predestinacion
:
Gabinius
arayed
in
a
purple
weede
:
and
Catiline
come
with
his
armie
:
O
howe
I
than
abhorre
to
see
the
lamentacion
of
the
honeste
wiues
,
the
flyghte
of
yonge
maides
and
childrene
,
and
the
trouble
of
the
virginnes
Vestalles
.
And
because
these
thinges
seme
to
me
vehementely
miserable
and
to
be
pitied
:
therfore
I
shew
my selfe
sharp
and
vehemente
againste
those
,
that
wolde
haue
performed
them
.
I
aske
you
,
whether
that
householder
which
dothe
moste
sharpely
and
greuouselye
punishe
his
seruaunte
that
sleyeth
his
childrene
,
kylleth
his
wife
,
and
burneth
his
house
,
is
to
bee
counted
milde
and
mercifull
,
or
els
fierce
and
cruell
?
I
iudge
him
importunate
and
of
an
yron
courage
,
that
wolde
not
asswage
his
sorowe
with
the
turmenting
of
suche
a
seruaunt
:
In
like
maner
we
shall
be
rekened
mercifull
,
if
wee
shewe
oure selues
moste
sharpe
and
vehemente
againste
those
that
wolde
murder
vs
,
oure
wiues
,
our
children
,
that
with
all
their
indeuour
go
aboute
to
destroye
euerie
mannes
house
,
and
this
vniuersall
common
weale
,
whyche
haue
doone
their
beste
to
haue
stablyshed
the
nacion
of
Delphinois
in
the
steppes
of
thys
citye
,
and
in
the
asshes
of
thys
empiere
,
distroied
wyth
fire
:
but
if
wee
wyll
be
seene
to
be
remisse
and
negligente
,
we
shal
be
vtterly
defamed
of
crueltie
,
for
sufferynge
our
countrey
and
citesens
to
be
distroyed
.
Excepte
any
man
wyll
thynke
L
?
Caesar
that
noble
and
valyant
man
,
and
that
mooste
derely
loueth
this
common
weale
,
was
the
other
day
very
cruel
,
what
he
sayd
,
that
his
sisters
husband
,
that
most
honorable
lady
,
beinge
present
,
and
heryng
hym
,
was
worthy
to
dye
.
Whan
he
sayd
,
Flaccus
was
slayn
by
the
consuls
commandement
:
and
his
sonne
,
not
.xiiii.
yere
of
age
,
bounde
and
cast
into
pryson
to
be
slayne
Was
any
of
theyr
dedes
lyke
this
?
What
counsayle
toke
they
to
destroy
the
common
weale
?
Largesse
was
than
vsed
in
the
common
weale
,
to
come
to
honour
,
and
some
contencion
and
part
takynge
.
And
euen
at
that
tyme
this
Lentulus
grandfather
,
that
most
noble
man
being
armed
,
pursued
Gracchus
,
&
was
than
sore
wounded
,
to
the
ende
the
hygh
dignitie
of
the
common
weale
shulde
nothyng
be
blemyshed
.
This
Lentulus
hath
styrred
vp
the
Frenchemen
to
tourne
vpset
downe
this
common
weale
:
he
hath
reysed
slaues
and
bondemen
,
he
hath
callyd
forthe
Catiline
,
he
hath
allotted
vs
to
Cethegus
,
the
other
cityzens
to
bee
slayne
by
Gabinius
,
the
citye
to
be
burned
by
Cassius
,
all
Italy
to
be
wasted
and
spoyled
by
Catilyne
.
I
deeme
,
you
dreede
leste
that
in
this
so
cruell
and
cursed
a
deede
,
ye
shulde
be
seene
to
determine
any
thinge
ouer
sharpe
and
rigorous
:
Whan
it
is
muche
more
to
be
feared
,
leste
by
negligence
of
punyshement
,
we
shall
seme
rather
cruell
to
our
countrey
,
than
by
sharpenes
of
punyshemente
ouer
vehemente
against
our
moste
cruell
ennemies
.
¶
But
honorable
fathers
,
I
can
nat
dissemble
,
that
I
haue
herd
spoken
.
For
wordes
ar
blowen
abrode
,
whiche
are
come
to
my
hearyng
,
of
them
,
that
seme
to
feare
,
leste
I
shal
not
be
stronge
inough
to
execute
those
thinges
,
that
ye
shall
this
day
determyne
to
be
done
.
All
thynges
prudent
fathers
,
ar
foresene
,
prepared
,
and
in
a
redynesse
by
my
no
lyttell
care
and
dilygence
,
but
moche
more
by
the
good
courage
that
the
commynaltie
hathe
to
maynteyne
and
defende
this
most
highe
empire
,
and
theyr
owne
goodes
.
They
be
all
,
of
euery
state
and
degree
,
and
of
euery
age
,
bent
here
vppon
.
The
market
place
is
full
,
soo
be
all
the
wayes
and
passages
to
this
place
and
temple
.
This
cause
,
sith
the
buyldinge
of
the
citie
,
is
founde
to
be
alone
,
in
the
whiche
al
agree
on
one selfe
thinge
:
excepte
those
whiche
,
seynge
they
muste
nedes
ende
theyr
wretched
life
,
they
had
rather
dy
with
all
other
,
than
peryshe
alone
.
Those
men
I
except
,
and
gladly
seuer
them
from
vs
.
Nor
I
accompt
not
theym
amonge
the
numbre
of
honest
citesins
,
but
from
henseforth
to
be
taken
for
our
mooste
cruell
ennemies
.
But
good
lorde
,
with
howe
greate
multitude
,
with
what
fauour
and
affection
,
with
what
wood
harte
and
courage
do
all
other
consent
and
agree
to
the
dignite
and
welthe
of
vs
all
?
Wherto
shoulde
I
here
reherse
the
gentyll
men
of
Rome
,
whiche
so
gyueth
place
to
you
in
degree
and
consultation
,
that
they
wylle
contende
wyth
vs
in
loue
of
the
common
weale
?
the
whiche
this
daye
and
this
cause
hathe
retired
from
longe
dissentyon
and
debate
,
had
with
this
order
,
and
knytte
you
faste
frendes
togyther
:
whiche
knote
of
frendshype
confyrmed
in
my
consuls
shyppe
,
if
we
contynually
kepe
in
the
common
weale
,
I
assure
you
after
this
no
ciuile
harme
amonge
our selfe
,
shall
endomage
the
common
weale
on
noo
syde
.
Wyth
lyke
fauour
to
defende
the
common
weale
,
I
see
the
treasourers
,
(
men
woste
hardy
and
valyante
)
assemble
theym selues
togyther
.
Also
all
the
notaries
and
scrybes
,
whiche
in
great
numbre
chaunce
this
daye
hath
broughte
to
the
treasoure
house
,
I
perceyue
they
,
lokynge
to
what
ende
this
busines
wyll
come
,
ar
fully
bent
on
the
common
welth
.
Here
is
also
the
holle
multitude
of
the
meane
sorte
of
freemen
.
For
who
is
he
,
to
whome
those
temples
,
the
aspecte
of
this
citie
,
the
possession
of
libertie
,
and
fynally
this
lyghte
,
and
this
oure
natiue
countrey
,
is
not
dere
,
swete
,
and
pleasante
.
It
is
a
ioyfull
thynge
honorable
fathers
,
to
see
the
fauoure
and
affection
of
the
lybertines
,
whiche
chauncynge
to
enioye
the
franches
of
this
citie
,
accompte
it
to
be
theyr
owne
countree
:
whiche
cytie
some
that
be
here
borne
,
and
comme
of
noble
lynage
,
iudge
not
theyr
countrey
,
but
take
it
as
a
towne
of
theyr
enemyes
.
But
whereto
shall
I
recyte
vnto
you
those
men
and
degrees
,
whome
theyr
owne
priuate
commoditie
,
the
common
profite
,
fredome
and
lybertie
,
of
all
thinges
the
moste
swetest
,
hath
a
waked
and
styred
to
defende
the
welthe
of
theyr
countrey
?
There
is
no
slaue
,
whose
seruile
condition
is
anye
thynge
tollerable
,
whiche
dothe
not
vtterly
abhore
the
saucy
and
malapert
boldnes
of
our
citisens
,
that
wolde
not
haue
them
bridled
,
that
doth
not
,
as
moche
as
he
dare
and
as
muche
as
he
can
,
applye
his
good
wylle
for
the
common
weale
?
Wherfore
if
haplye
any
of
you
be
moued
with
this
,
that
a
rumoure
is
blowen
abrode
,
that
a
certayne
ruffyan
,
longing
to
Lentulus
runneth
about
from
shope
to
shope
,
hopynge
with
mede
to
stere
and
reyse
vp
routes
of
such
as
be
nedy
and
ignoraunt
what
thinges
meane
:
Surely
this
was
begunne
and
attempted
:
but
yet
there
was
none
founde
so
poore
nor
so
wretched
but
that
wylleth
and
desyreth
,
that
his
shoppe
and
place
,
where
he
getteth
his
lyuinge
,
his
chambre
for
his
bed
,
and
the
quiet
course
of
his
lyfe
,
myght
be
in
safegarde
.
And
the
moste
parte
of
those
,
that
lyue
by
theyr
handye
crafte
,
yea
I
shulde
say
,
this
vniuersall
kynde
of
people
,
do
loue
to
lyue
in
quiete
and
reste
.
For
all
theyr
instrumentes
,
theyr
workes
and
wynninges
are
maynteyned
by
concurse
and
resorte
of
the
people
,
&
nourisshed
wyth
peace
and
concorde
,
whose
gaynes
and

,
yf
by
shuttynge
in
of
theyr

,
is
wonte
to
be
mynyshed
,
what
shall
they
gette

whan
they
be
bourned
.
These
thynges
beynge
thus

honourable

the

Take

and
frome
the
very
poynte
of

,
not

but
for

Thys

of
this

conspyracye
,
mekelye
holdeth
vp

To
you
she
commendeth
the

Furthermore

concerning

Ye
haue
a

myndefull
of

,
and
forgetfull
of
hym selfe
,
whiche
abilitie
is
not
alway
gyuen
,
that
a

forgettynge
hym selfe
,
shulde
be
myndfull
of

Ye
haue
all

and

all

,
the
holle
publyque
weale
,
it
that
in
a
cyuylle
cause
,
we
shall
this
daye
fyrste
see
,
agreynge
all
as
one
.
Calle
to
mynde
,
that
one
nyght
shall
vtterly
confounde
and
brynge
to

,
this

,
founded
wyth
so
great
labours
,
our

stablysshed
wyth
so
greatte
prowesse
,
our
goodes
so
greatly
incresed
and
augmented
by
the
benignitie
of
the
goddis
.
You
must
this
daye
so
prouyde
,
that
neuer
hereafter
this
thyng
be
not
onlye
done
,
but
that
noo
manne
ymagine
to
doo
suche
a
dede
:
And
those
thynges
I
haue
not
spoken
to
encourage
you
,
whiche
in
fauoure
and
good
zeale
,
farre
passe
me
,
but
to
the
ende
,
that
my
voyce
,
which
oughte
to
be
chiefe
in
the
common
weale
,
shuld
be
sene
to
supplye
the
duety
of
a
consull
.
Nowe
before
that
I
returne
to
the
sentence
,
I
wyll
some
what
speake
of
my selfe
.
¶
Methynketh
.
I
haue
gote
as
greate
a
multitude
of
ennemyes
,
as
there
is
in
noumbre
of
conspiratours
,
whiche
ye
se
is
very
great
,
but
this
greate
route
I
iuge
to
be
shamefull
,
weake
,
not
to
be
regarded
,
and
verye
abiectes
.
But
yf
hereafter
this
multitude
,
prouoked
by
any
mannes
furye
or
myschiefe
,
doth
more
preuayle
than
yours
,
and
the
common
welthes
dignitie
:
yet
honorable
fathers
,
I
wyll
neuer
repente
me
of
those
dedes
that
I
haue
done
,
or
of
the
councels
that
I
haue
gyuen
.
For
deathe
,
wherwith
perchance
,
they
threten
me
,
no
man
can
escape
.
More
greatter
prayse
than
ye
haue
gyuen
me
in
my
lyfe
,
by
your
decrees
neuer
man
obteyned
.
For
alwaye
vnto
other
,
for
well
gouernynge
of
the
common
weale
,
but
vnto
me
for
the
conseruation
therof
,
ye
haue
decreed
ryght
hygh
thankes
.
¶
Let
the
noble
Scipio
haue
his
renonme
,
by
whose
councell
,
prowes
and
polycy
,
Hanniball
was
constrayned
to
retourne
into
Aphrike
,
and
to
departe
out
of
Italy
.
Let
Aphricanus
be
adourned
wyth
moste
hyghe
laude
,
whiche
distroyed
two
greate
cities
,
Carthage
,
and
Numantia
moste
greuous
enimies
to
this
impire
.
Let
hym
.
L.
Paulus
be
counted
for
a
man
most
excellent
whose
chariot
,
Perses
sometyme
a
kynge
most
myghty
and
most
noble
dyd
greatly
honor
.
Let
Marius
haue
eternall
glory
,
whiche
twyse
delyuered
Italy
frome
inuasion
and
drede
of
seruitude
and
thraldome
.
Let
Pompeius
be
preferred
aboue
all
other
,
whose
conquestes
and
knightly
actes
ar
knowen
through
all
the
worlde
.
And
surely
among
the
honourable
renoume
and
prayses
of
these
men
,
our
glory
must
take
some
place
,
excepte
peraduenture
it
be
a
greater
feate
to
conquere
to
vs
prouinces
,
by
whiche
we
myghte
haue
passage
than
it
is
warely
to
prouyde
,
that
they
that
are
absente
,
maye
haue
a
place
,
whither
as
conquerors
they
maye
returne
agayne
.
Not
withstandynge
the
state
of
outwarde
vyctorye
is
in
one
thyng
better
,
than
the
domesticall
bycause
straunge
enemyes
subdued
,
do
eyther
serue
vs
,
or
receyued
as
frendes
,
do
thynke
them selfe
bounde
vnto
vs
.
But
yf
any
of
our
cytesyns
,
throughe
some
madnesse
waxynge
lewde
and
nought
,
begyne
ones
to
be
enmyes
to
theyr
countrye
,
whan
we
go
aboute
to
wythstande
,
that
they
endomage
not
the
common
weale
,
we
can
neither
by
violence
restrayne
theym
,
nor
wyth
benefittes
pacify
them
.
Wherfore
I
see
welle
,
I
haue
entred
into
continuall
warre
with
these
hope
lost
citesyns
,
the
whiche
I
trust
through
the
ayde
of
you
and
all
suche
other
as
ar
good
and
vertuous
,
remembring
so
greate
perils
of
the
which
not
only
we
,
that
ar
reserued
and
kepte
,
but
all
nations
shall
speke
and
beare
in
mind
easily
to
repel
from
me
&
myne
.
Nor
assuredly
there
can
not
be
founde
so
great
force
&
violence
,
that
can
breake
&
quayle
your
vnitie
and
the
gentilmen
of
Rome
,
and
so
great
consent
and
agremente
of
all
good
men
.
Seinge
honorable
fathers
,
that
these
thinges
ar
thus
,
for
myn
impire
,
for
myne
army
,
for
my
prouynce
,
whiche
I
neglected
,
for
my
triumph
,
and
other
notable
thinges
of
laude
and
preyse
,
whiche
for
your
cities
sake
and
safegarde
of
youre
welthes
,
I
forsake
,
for
my
clientes
,
for
the
men
of
my
prouynce
,
for
the
right
of
hospitalite
:
for
all
these
thynges
,
and
for
my
singulare
fauoure
and
affection
to
youe
,
for
that
diligence
whiche
you
see
in
me
to
preserue
the
weale
publike
,
I
aske
nothinge
elles
of
you
,
but
the
remembrance
of
my
Consuls
shyp
all
this
tyme
.
Whiche
being
fast
fixed
in
your
myndes
,
I
iudge
my selfe
surely
fenced
about
with
a
walle
moste
stronge
.
But
if
my
hope
be
dispointed
and
quayled
by
the
power
of
the
lewde
and
naughty
,
I
commende
to
you
my
littell
sonne
:
to
whome
surelye
it
shal
be
a
sufficiente
garrison
of
defence
,
not
onely
for
his
sauegarde
,
but
also
for
his
high
aduancement
if
ye
wille
vouchesafe
to
remembre
him
to
be
his
sonne
,
whiche
with
his
perill
alone
preserued
all
these
thinges
.
Wherfore
mooste
prudente
fathers
,
ordeyne
and
prouide
diligentely
and
boldelye
:
as
ye
beganne
,
for
your
owne
wealth
:
youre
wyues
and
children
:
for
your
aultars
and
oratories
:
for
youre
Chapelles
and
temples
:
for
the
buyldynges
and
sytuacions
of
all
this
citie
,
for
this
empire
,
for
youre
lybertye
,
for
the
welth
of
Italye
,
and
for
the
vniuersall
weale
publyke
.
For
ye
haue
a
consull
,
that
doubteth
not
to
obeye
your
decrees
,
and
as
longe
as
lyfe
is
in
hym
,
and
to
the
vttermoste
of
his
power
,
to
defend
those
ordynaunces
that
ye
shall
decree
.
¶
Whan
the
Consull
had
ended
his
oration
,
turnynge
hym
to
Marcus
Cato
,
whome
he
knewe
loued
his
contrye
moste
entierly
,
of
a
stoute
stomake
,
a
prudente
counsayllour
,
and
excedynge
constaunte
,
desyred
hym
to
saye
his
mynde
.
Than
.
M.
Cato
rose
vp
,
and
spake
in
thys
manner
:
¶
The
oration
of
M.
Cato
taken
out
of
Saluste
.
Capitulo
.xlii.
WHAN
I
consider
,
honorable
fathers
,
our
busynes
,
and
the
greate
daunger
that
we
stand
in
,
whan
I
ofte
thinke
on
som
mens
●entences
:
my
mynde
is
farre
frome
theyr
opynion
.
They
seeme
to
me
to
haue
reasoned
,
what
peynes
they
shulde
suffer
,
that
haue
prepared
to
make
warre
against
theyr
countrey
,
theyr
parentes
,
the
aulter
and
oratories
.
But
the
matter
warneth
vs
rather
to
take
hede
&
beware
of
them
,
that
to
consulte
,
what
we
shulde
decree
againste
them
.
Other
mysdedes
may
be
punished
after
they
be
done
:
but
yf
it
be
not
loked
well
to
,
that
this
euel
dede
be
not
done
,
it
wyll
be
to
late
to
execute
iustyce
.
The
cyte
being
got
,
the
subdued
can
nothinge
doo
.
But
I
requyre
you
by
the
goddis
immortall
saye
the
trouth
,
that
you
haue
more
estemed
your
houses
in
the
citie
,
&
manors
in
the
countrey
,
your
grauen
images
&
peinted
tables
,
than
the
common
weale
,
yf
ye
wyll
retayne
stylle
these
,
suche
as
they
be
,
delectations
,
that
you
so
derely
loue
,
yf
ye
woll
haue
tyme
and
space
to
vse
your
pleasures
:
at
the
laste
awake
,
and
enbrace
the
common
weale
.
For
nowe
the
reasonyng
is
not
of
our
tributes
,
nor
of
the
wronges
doone
to
oure
confederates
.
Our
lybertie
and
lyfe
is
in
daunger
.
I
haue
very
often
honorable
fathers
,
spoken
many
thynges
amonge
you
here
,
I
haue
ofte
complayned
of
the
excesse
and
auarice
of
oure
citesins
:
And
for
that
cause
I
haue
many
men
agaynste

.
For
I
that
neuer
forgaue
my selfe
any
offence
,
coulde
not
lyghtely
forgyue
other
mens
mysdedes
.
And
though
ye
lyttell
regarded
my
wordes
,
yet
was
the
weale
publyke
in
good
case
,
for
the
welthynes
thereof
supported
your
neglygence
.
But
nowe
it
is
not
in
debatynge
,
after
what
maners
,
good
or
badde
we
shulde
lyue
,
or
how
great
or
how
magnificient
the
Romayne
empire
shulde
be
:
but
whether
these
thynges
,
howe
so
euer
they
be
shal
be
ours
alone
,
or
enioyed
together
with
vs
of
our
enemies
.
Wyll
anye
man
in
this
matter
ones
name
myldenesse
,
and
mercy
?
Surely
we
haue
of
late
loste
the
true
names
of
thynges
.
For
to
gyue
awaye
othermens
goodes
is
callyd
Liberalyte
.
Boldenesse
to
do
yuell
dedes
is
called
Fortitude
,
therfore
the
weale
publyke
is
at
the
last
cast
.
Let
them
for
me
,
seing
the
maner
and
fascion
is
so
,
be
lyberall
of
other
mens
goodes
,
let
them
be
mercyfull
to
stealers
of
the
common
treasure
:
so
that
they
gyue
not
to
them
our
bloude
,
and
sparynge
a
fewe
lewde
&
naught
,
they
vndo
all
that
be
good
and
honest
.
C.
Cesar
while
eare
reasoned
well
and
substancially
before
you
of
lyfe
and
deathe
,
supposynge
I
beleue
,
that
those
thynges
be
false
,
whiche
are
reported
of
hel
,
that
the
yuell
doers
are
sondred
a
way
from
the
good
,
dwellynge
in
places
obscure
,
vile
,
stynkyng
,
vncleane
,
&
fearefull
.
And
so
he
iudged
,
that
theyr
goodes
shuld
be
forfayted
,
and
they
them selues
to
be
kept
in
warde
in
dyuers
townes
,
fearing
twis
,
leste
if
they
were
styll
in
Rome
,
they
shoulde
by
stronge
hande
bee
set
againe
at
lybertie
,
eyther
by
the
fauorers
of
the
conspiracie
,
or
elles
by
the
multitude
of
hopelostes
hired
ther
vnto
:
As
though
naughty
and
vngracious
persons
were
only
in
Rome
,
&
not
through
out
all
Italy
:
or
as
though
braynsicke
boldnes
coude
not
more
preuaile
ther
,
where
as
is
lesse
power
to
make
de●ence
.
Wherfore
this
counsayle
is
surely
of
none
effecte
,
if
he
stande
in
drede
of
them
:
but
if
he
alone
in
so
great
feare
to
all
men
,
is
not
afrayde
:
so
moche
the
more
it
behoueth
me
to
be
fearefull
bothe
for
my selfe
and
you
.
Therfore
whan
ye
gyue
iudgement
agaynste
P.
Lentulus
and
other
that
be
taken
:
Know
for
a
suretie
,
that
ye
gyue
iudgement
agaynst
Catiline
,
his
army
,
and
all
the
conspiratours
.
And
the
more
diligence
ye
vse
in
this
matter
,
the
lesse
courage
shall
they
haue
.
If
they
may
perceyue
,
that
you
wax
faynt
harted
:
they
all
full
fierce
wyll
soone
be
here
.
Thynke
not
,
that
our
forefathers
haue
of
a
very
lyttel
,
made
a
great
common
weale
by
feates
of
armes
:
if
it
so
were
,
we
shuld
haue
it
farre
more
goodly
.
For
our
abundance
of
confederate
frendes
,
citesyns
,
armour
,
and
horses
,
is
greatter
than
euer
our
auncetours
had
.
But
there
were
other
thynges
that
made
them
mighty
,
whiche
we
want
:
At
home
they
were
studyous
and
dilygente
,
in
theyr
dealynge
with
strangers
,
iuste
and
trewe
,
in
consultation
theyr
myndes
were
free
from
all
affections
,
they
neglected
not
theyr
duetie
,
nor
inclyned
to
bodilye
luste
.
In
stede
of
these
vertues
we
haue
prodigall
expence
and
couetousnes
,
the
comminaltie
poore
,
and
many
priuatly
ryche
and
welthy
:
We
preyse
ryches
,
and
folowe
sleuth
and
ydelnesse
.
There
is
no
difference
betwene
the
good
men
and
the
badde
:
Ambition
hath
al
the
rewardes
of
vertue
.
And
no
meruell
,
syth
eche
of
you
seketh
for
his
owne
priuate
commodite
:
syth
ye
at
home
giue
your selfes
to
volupties
and
pleasures
,
and
here
in
the
senate
study
howe
to
wynne
money
and
frendshyp
.
Wherby
the
weale
publyke
,
voyde
,
exhauste
,
and
deserte
,
is
inuaded
.
But
I
let
passe
these
matters
.
Noble
cytesins
haue
conspired
to
burne
theyr
countrey
,
they
haue
styred
vp
the
Frenchemen
,
moste
greuous
ennemyes
to
Romaynes
,
vnto
warre
.
The
capitayn
Catilyne
with
his
army
is
in
our
neckes
.
Ye
make
delaye
,
yea
in
soo
weyghty
a
busynes
,
and
stand
in
doubt
,
what
ye
shuld
do
with
our
enmies
taken
within
the
walles
.
I
thynke
good
,
ye
take
pitie
on
them
,
they
beinge
yongemenne
through
ambition
haue
done
amisse
,
gyue
them
leaue
,
yea
beinge
armed
,
to
departe
away
.
I
feare
,
leste
this
mildenes
and
mercy
,
if
they
begyn
to
arme
them
,
wyll
turne
vs
to
great
misery
.
It
is
eth
to
know
,
how
sharp
and
greuous
a
conspiracy
is
,
but
ye
feare
it
not
,
yes
ywys
do
you
,
and
that
very
soore
,
but
throughe
neglygence
&
faynt
courage
ye
dryue
forth
the
tyme
,
one
lokyng
what
an
other
wyl
do
,
as
it
were
trustynge
to
the
goodis
immortal
,
which
ful
oft
haue
saued
this
weale
publike
,
in
most
greatest
peryls
.
The
aide
and
helpe
of
the
goddis
is
not
gotten
with
vowes
and
womanlye
prayers
:
but
by
watchfull
diligence
,
well
doing
&
good
counsailynge
,
all
thinges
done
prospere
.
Whan
a
man
gyueth
hym self
to
sluggishnes
and
discourage
,
he
shal
call
vpon
the
goddis
in
vaine
:
for
they
be
displeased
and
greued
with
suche
one
.
In
olde
tyme
in
the
warres
of
France
,
A.
Manlius
Torquatus
,
commanded
his
owne
sone
to
be
put
to
deth
,
bycause
he
fought
with
his
enmy
contrary
to
his
imperial
commandement
.
And
so
he
the
noble
yong
man
,
full
derely
bought
with
deth
his
exceding
manly
enterprise
,
&
ye
stand
musinge
what
you
shulde
determin
ageinst
most
cruel
traitors
to
their
countrey
.
Verily
their
good
liuing
in
tymes
past
lettith
this
mischeuous
dede
to
be
punished
.
But
spare
you
Lentulus
dignitie
,
if
he
euer
spared
to
lyue
filthily
,
if
he
euer
cared
for
hys
good
name
and
fame
,
if
he
euer
regarded
god
or
man
.
Forgiue
Cethegus
youth
,
if
this
be
not
the
second
tyme
that
he
maketh
warre
aginst
his
countrey
.
For
what
shulde
I
speake
of
Gabinius
,
Statilius
Ceparyus
?
yf
they
had
bene
men
of
any
consideration
,
they
wolde
neuer
haue
take
suche
coūsellinges
against
the
common
weale
.
Finally
,
if
this
offence
,
honorable
fathers
were
not
intollerable
,
so
god
help
me
,
I
could
be
content
ye
were
punyshed
by
this
euel
chaunce
,
bycause
ye
regard
not
good
monition
:
but
we
are
beset
rounde
about
,
Catiline
wyth
his
army
standeth
gaping
to
deuoure
Italy
,
other
our
enemies
ar
within
the
walles
,
in
the
verye
harte
of
the
citie
,
neither
can
we
make
any
prouision
or
take
concell
secretly
:
Wherfore
it
behoueth
vs
to
vse
the
more
celeritie
and
spede
.
Therfore
my
mynd
is
,
seinge
the
common
weale
,
through
the
cursed
counsell
of
mischiefull
cytesyns
,
is
brought
into
so
great
daunger
,
and
seinge
they
by
the
detection
of
Vulturtius
,
and
the
Frenche
ambassabours
are
conuycted
,
and
haue
confessed
,
that
they
intended
to
murdere
and
burne
,
and
to
doo
other
cursed
and
cruel
dedes
to
theyr
owne
citisins
and
countrey
,
that
suche
as
haue
a
knowleged
theyr
treson
,
we
shulde
after
the
maner
of
our
forefathers
,
put
to
death

The
contention
of

,
and
M.
Cato
in
the
Senate

and
of
the
loue

sent
to
Cesar

WHAN
Cato
was
set
downe

well
nere
al
the

,
one
calling

fearfull
,
approued
his
sentence
,
they
most
hyghly
extollyd
his
valyante
courage
,
hys
constancy
and
manly
harte
.
Fynally
they
decreed
accordynge
to
Catos
sentence
.
But
Cesar
for
all
that
styll
wythstode
it
,
so
longe
vntyll
a
greate
bande
of
the
gentylmen
of
Rome
,
whiche
all
armed
stode
aboute
the
temple
of
Concorde
,
for
safegarde
and
defence
of
the
Senate
,
came
with
theyr
swordes
drawen
to
haue
slayne
hym
,
eyther
bicause
they
beleued
he
was
confederate
with
the
conspirators
,
for
that
he
wolde
not
haue
them
put
to
deathe
:
or
els
being
moued
wyth
the
peryll
that
the
weale
publyke
was
in
.
Than
Curio
,
as
it
is
sayde
imbracyng
hym
,
and
castyng
his
gowne
betwene
them
,
defended
hym
.
Farthermore
Cicero
with
sharpe
rebukes
,
feared
them
from
sleynge
of
Cesar
.
It
is
also
sayd
,
that
while
Cesar
and
Cato
were
in
contention
for
the
punyshment
of
the
offenders
,
there
chanced
a
thyng
not
very
honest
to
be
tolde
.
¶
Seruilia
Catos
syster
sore
wounded
wyth
the
loue
of
Cesar
,
delyuered
certayne
letters
,
louyngly
wrytten
,
to
an
vndiscrete
man
,
to
beare
vnto
hym
:
whiche
whan
he
came
to
Cesars
house
,
and
was
informed
by
the
porter
,
that
Cesar
was
in
the
senate
,
streyghte
waye
this
rude
felowe
came
into
the
Senate
,
and
delyuered
the
letters
to
Cesar
.
Whiche
whan
Cato
sawe
,
he
began
to
say
with
a
lowde
voyce
,
these
are
the
conspiratours
letters
,
and
wold
in
any
wyse
that
they
shulde
be
openlye
redde
.
Than
Cesar
dredynge
lest
they
shulde
be
openly
redde
,
toke
theym
vnto
Cato
.
Whyche
whan
Cato
had
red
,
he
threwe
them
agayne
to
Cesar
,
and
in
the
Senate
called
hym
Drunkarde
,
that
naturally
was
verye
sobre

This
is
the
propertye
of
loue

BVT
SONE
after
happened
a
thynge
that
more
troubled
Cesars
mynde
.
For
L.
Vectius
accused
hym
before
Nouius
the
Questor
,
as
culpable
of
the
conspiracy
,
and
Q
,
Curius
broughte
hym
in
greate
hatred
,
bycause
he
named
hym
in
the
Senate
a
parte
taker
with
the
conspiratours
.
Vectius
promysed
to
brynge
forth
Catilyns
owne
handewritynge
:
Curius
sayde
,
he
knewe
it
by
Catilyne
,
Cesar
takyng
greuousely
,
that
he
shulde
be
spotted
wyth
soo
shamefull
a
blotte
came
into
the
Senate
to
purge
hym selfe
.
But
the
Senate
syttyng
longer
than
was
accustomed
,
and
excedynge
multitude
of
the
common
people
,
ranne
thyther
in
greate
haste

For
the
troublous
people
,
which
demed
that
the
Senate
wolde
decre
some
greuous
thyng
agaynst
Cesar
,
inflamed
wyth
his
loue
and
sturred
with
his
peryll
,
beganne
to
make
a
greate
shout
,
and
seditiousely
required
the
Senate
to
let
Cesar
go
.
M.
Cato
,
to
withdrawe
from
Cesar
all
occasion
of
sedition
,
perswaded
the
Senate
to
diuyde
amonge
the
common
people
of
Rome
,
greate
quantitie
of
wheate
,
by
whiche
liberalitie
,
the
hartis
,
of
the
poore
comminaltie
were
meruelously
reconciled
to
Cato
and
the
Senate
.
For
the

moued

,
and
bowed
with
gyftes
.
And
with
giftes
mens
myndes
are
blynded
.
¶
After
this
,
Cesar
made
an
oration
,
in
whiche
oration
he
declared
,
not
only
that
he
was
none
of
the
conspiratours
,
but
also
that
he
had
opened
to
the
consull
certaine
thinges
of
the
consperacy
.
And
whan
he
had
lamentablye
d●●●red
Cicero
to
wytnesse
the
same
,
Cicero
clered
hym
from
all
suspition
.
Thus
dyd
the
consull
,
either
bicause
he
knew
nothing
certainly
to
charge
Cesar
with
,
or
els
bicause
he
thought
it
best
to
wynke
at
the
matter
.
For
though
Cesar
and
Crassus
myght
both
haue
bene
manifestly
conuicted
,
yet
coulde
they
not
haue
bene
punyshed
,
seynge
the
tone
of
theim
was
surely
fenced
wyth
excedynge
greatte
rychesse
,
the
tother
with
fauour
of
the
people
.
¶
But
afterwarde
Cesar
vehemently
inuehed
ageinste
L.
Vectius
,
whan
he
hadde
in
his
oration
torne
hym
with
most
sharpe
wordes

spoylinge
hym

taking

he
greuousely
punyshed

and
he
caste

bycause
he
suffred

aboue

was

the
fifte
daye
of
December

and
drewe
towarde
euenynge
,
after
longe
consultacion
had
in

Senate
,
at

they
decreed
,
as

accordinge
to
Catos
sentence
,
that
execucion
shoulde
be
doone
on
them
that
were
founde

Wherfore
the
consul
thought
best
,
to
preuent
the
night
that
was
at
hande
,
leste
in
the
meane
space
,
some
myschefull
and
cursed
parte
myght
be
plaide
by
those
that
thoughte
by
force
and
violence
to
deliuer
and
set
them
at
large
.
Oute
of
the
senate
house
he
came
accompanied
with
all
the
Senatoures

the

of

And
from
thence
he
wente
to

that
hadde

Fyrste
he
brought

In

whyle
Cicero
commaunded
P.

,
countremanded
by
letters
from
Capua
,
with
the
army
that
he
than
had
wyth

and
with
all
spede
to

after

These
thynges
done
,
the
citie
,
whiche
before
trembled
for

was
now
delyuered
from

that
was
so

begane

And
Cicero

foldyd
vp
in

For

and
al
such

were
dishonest

The
whiche
dyd
hate
Cicero
not
onely
by
cause
he
repressed
theyr
horryble
violence
and
cursed

,
but
also
bycause

WHerfore
whan

leauyng

protectour

It

that

Whiche

was
to
Cicero
more
honorable
than
if

For
whan

Ca.

THis
his
glory
,
the
peple
of
Rome
did
augment
with
an
other
glory

For
the
self
same
daye
,
the
people
in
moste
honorable
wyse

with
greattest
ioy

,
&
as
thyck
as
they
coulde
go
in
the
stretes
,
broughte
hym
from
the
market
place
home
to
his
house
.
But
yet
the
fyrst
day
of
Ianuarye
he
with
so
manly
a
courage
spake
of
the
common
weale
,
that
euery
man
myght
well
perceyue
,
that
the
actes
which
he
dyd
in
his
consulship
were
done
by
his
wysedome
,
prudence
,
and
policy
,
and
not
by
chaunce
.
And
Q.
Metellus
disputing
with
him
of
the
common
weale
,
he
quayled
in
the
Senate
with
an
oration
all
full
of
grauitie
:
and
Cicero
boldly
shewed
hym
,
that
he
shuld
haue
to
do
with
a
man
that
wanteth
no
stomake
,
or
that
is
to
seke
in
any
thyng
that
he
shal
say
.
Wherby
his
aduersaries
were
the
more
kendlid
ageynst
hym
:
bycause
they
sawe
him
chief
in
the
senate
,
they
fled
al
to
the
commons
.
Than
Metellus
,
associate
&
ayded
with
C.
Cesar
,
desired
of
the
people
that
Pompeius
with
his
army
,
myght
be
countermanded
home
,
to
subdue
Catiline
:
and
to
commit
the
common
weale
vnto
him
,
that
he
shuld
se
that
it
toke
none
harm
.
Their
wordes
were
,
that
Pompeius
shuld
be
countremanded
home
to
subdue
Catilin
:
but
in
very
dede
theyr
pretense
was
,
that
the
common
weale
shuld
come
to
the
rule
and
gouernance
of
Pompei
:
and
by
that
mean
the
auctoritie
consular
of
M.
Tullius
,
and
the
power
of

Senators
myghte
be
fordoone
:
and
in

WHan
this
cursed
publication
was
spoken
in
the
senate
.
M.
Cato
rose
vp
,
&
wyth
many
wordes
desired
Metellus
for
his
constancy
,
trouth
&
honorable
estate
,
to
desyste
from
that
purpose
:
besechynge
hym
for
his
dead
fathers
sake
,
for
that
Metellus
Numidius
sake
,
the
whiche
wolde
rather
be
dryuen
oute
of
the
citie
,
than
to
be
forsworne
:
and
for
all
the
Metellus
those
most
noble
citisens
sakes
,
whiche
alway
withstode
seditious
persones
,
whiche
euermore
in
all
thynges
folowed
the
auctorytie
of
the
senate
,
and
consente
of
good
men
.
And
he
declared
that
it
neded
not
,
that
Pompeius
shoulde
be
countermaunded
home
with
his
armye
.
For
soo
moche
as
C.
Antonius
hadde
a
greatte
hoste
,
and
Q.
Metellus
Celer
,
his
brother
hadde
prepared

And
theyr
enemyes
at
home
beyng
subdewed
(
of
whome
was
moste
nede

the
conspyracy
was
soo
enfeblyd

coulde
not

hurt
,

indomaged
by

importunate

BVt
whan
the
equite
of

coulde

and
whanne
the
other
Senatoures
neyther
by
intreating
nor
monisshing
could
incline
him
,
but
that
he
thretenyd
to
doo
all
thynges
by
force
of
armes
:
Cato
eftesoones
tournynge
his
tale
,
shamefully
rebuked
hym
,
and
wyth
an
oration
all
full
of
grauitie
,
with
commendation
and
approbation
of
the
hole
Senate
,
he
accused
hym
as
gyltie
,
and
finally
he
said
,
he
wold
neuer
while
he
lyued
suffre
,
that
Pompeus
with
his
armye
shulde
retourne
home
to
the
citie

But
whan
the
daye
of
Rogation
was
come

and
that
Metellus

being
Pretor

had
the
nyghte

furnyshed

For

kepte
the
market

And

alway
desyrous
to

nouelties
,
fauored
Metellus
in
publyshinge
the
lawe

And
therfore
verye
manye
councelled
Cato
to
beware
and
take
good
hede
to
him selfe

But
he
beinge
ennewed
wyth
an
incredible
and
straunge
manlynesse
of
stomake
,
grauytie
,
and
fortitude
,
which
(
thought
hym selfe
borne
for
his
countreys
sake
,
and
not
for

wolde
rather
put
hym selfe
in
ioperdy
,
than
not
to
succoure
the
common
weale
being
at
the
poynte
to
perishe
.
And
so
earlye
in
the
mornyng
,
not
only
without
any
power
&
strengthe
of
men
,
but
also
with
a
fewe
of
his

he
descended
into
the
market

so
fearinge
that
he
shulde
not

with

lyfe
,
that

prohibitynge

But

AFter
whan

longe
debated
in

house
touchynge
the
skyrmysshe
that
Metellus
menne
of

made
,
of

castinge
of

,
and
of
the
feare

flyghte
of
good
menne
,
and
that
men
,
hadde
sharpely
spoken
ageinst
Cesar
,
and
reprochfully
rebuked
Metellus
:
the

decreed
,
that
Metellus
shuld
leaue
vp

trybuneshype
,
and
Cesar
his
pretorshyp
,
and
bothe
shuld
absteyne
from
ministration

common
weale

Nor
the
Senate
beinge
contente
with
this
maner
punyshement
,
and
purposynge
to
put
Metellus
to
open
shame
.
M.
Cato
wolde
in
no
wyse
agree
thereto
&
dissuaded
the
senate
that
they
shulde
not
do
it
.
Than
was
his
mekenes
preysed
of
the
people
of
Rome
,
and
his
counsayle
allowed
,
bycause
those
thynges
whiche
he
dyd
,
and
whiche
he
toke
vppon
him
,
he
dyd
them
not
for
the
hatred
,
that
he
bare
to
any
man
,
but
for
the
loue
that
he
had
to
the
comon
weale
.
¶
So
Metellus
beinge
depriued
frome
mynistration
of
the
common
weale
,
and
forsaken
of
the
people
:
He
purposed
to
take
his
iourney
into
Asia
,
as
thoughe
he
wolde
go
and
informe
Pompeius
of
all
these
matters
.
But
ere
he
wente
he
made
certayne
orations
,
in
the
whiche
he
spake
very
reprochefully
agaynste
the
Senate
,
he
sayde
:
He
coulde
not
suffere
Cicero
to
reygne
lyke
a
kynge
,
nor
the
tyranny
of
Cato
:
and
that
the
tyme
shuld
come
,
that
the
people
of
Rome
shulde
sore
repente
them
that
they
had
done
so
many
iniuries
to
the
mooste
noble
man
Pompeius
.
But
afterwarde
Pompeius
was
not
onely
contented
and
pleased
with
Cato
,
and
M.
Tullius
,
but
also
gaue
eche
of
them
hyghe
thankes

Yea
(

as

departynge

sawe
Cicero
imbracyng

hym

saye
in

presence
of
many
that
were

:
He
shoulde
in

And
afterwarde
it

,
shoulde
saye
in

PVrposynge

Catiline
,
from

we

calleth
me
backe
againe

hym

Whyche
whyle
those
thynges
were
gested
and
donne
at
Rome
,
hadde
nowe
(
as
some
reporte
)
gathered
together
aboute
twenty
thousande
men
.
But
I
suppose
he
had
assembled
together
a
greatter
noumbre
of
cruell
caytyues
.
But
of
all
these
there
was
not
paste
the
fourthe
parte
arrayed
and
instructed
lyke
men
of

,
the
other
hadde
not
armour
warrelyke
,
but
suche
as
men
vse
to
beare
iorneyinge
by
the
waye
¶
With
this
multitude
he
Catilyne
iournayed
vppon
the
sharpe
mountaynes
:
oftentymes
he
remoued
his
,
army
,
and
the
same
moste
strongely
dyd
fortifye
aboute
with
a
trenche
and
a
bulwarke
:
sometyme
he
made
towarde
the
citie
,
sometyme
towarde
Fraunce
:
nowe
he
besegeth
the
mountayns
,
whithin
a
while
after
he
passethe
ouer
those
hylles
:
nowe
on
horsebacke
,
nowe
on
fote
.
Also
he
caused
dylygent
watches
to
be
kepte
,
and
he
hym selfe
wolde
be
the
first
,
that
shulde
goo
about
it
:
he
wolde
be
among
them
in
theyr
labours
,
and
in
their
battayles
,
he
wolde
benignely
calle
,
admonysshe
,
and
exhorte
his
souldyours
,
he
wolde
very
oft
take
his
rest
and
lye
vpon
the
grounde
,
to
th
entent
that
other
shulde
the
more
wyllyngly
endure
labour
and
trauayle
.
Fynally
he
wold
neuer
gyue
battayle
to
Antony
:
bycause
that
he
,
in
prolonging
of
the
tyme
,
might
augmente
his
army
with
the
great
multytude
of
hopelostes
,
robbers
,
and
theues
,
that
dayly
drewe
to
him
from
all
partes
of
Italy
:
whiche
trustynge
to
spoyle
and
robbe
,
and
couetynge
warre
,
had
gyuen
ouer
theyr
husbandry
,
&
daylye
wynnyng
.
And
also
bycause
Catiline
thought
it
more
surer
to
abyde
tylle
the
tyme
his
felowes
at
Rome
had
atcheued
theyr
enterprises
,
and
rather
to
drawe
toward
the
citie
than
to
assay
the
hasard
of
batayle
.
And
as
he
now
hasted
with
all
his
power
to
inuade
his
countrey
:
a
messanger
came
and
tolde
to
hym
,
how
the
conspiracy
was
openly
knowen
at
Rome
,
and
that
they
(
of
whome
we
spake
before
)
were
putte
to
death
.
Than
Catylyne
being
soore
troubled
with
these
tydinges
,
alterynge
his
counsayle
,
lefte
the
citie
,
and
toke
his
iourney
towarde

transalpine
,
hopyng
that
the
nation
of
Frenchmen
,
vtter
ennemies
to
the
Romayns
,
and
alwaye
gyuen
to
newefanglenes
,
wolde
soone
be
induced
to
take
theyr
partes
in
this
warre
.
He
thought
to
brynge
outward
nations
armed
to
the
citie
,
and
to
make
a
myghty
stronge
army
of
men
.
He
had
the
better
hope
,
bycause
the
Delphinoys
,
whiche
are
the
nereste
borderers
vnto
Italy
,
were
by
certayne
of
the
conspirators
,
wyth
great
promyess
alredy
inticed
,
and
the
frenche
men
wyllingly
harkened
vnto
them
.

armyes
,
determyned
to
fyght

BVt
Q.
Metellus
the
pretor
(
whiche
led
an
army
of
.iii.
legions
in
the
countrey
of
Picene
)
being
enfourmed
by
them
that
fled
to
him
,
what
way
Catiline
toke
spedilye
dislodged
,
&
pitched
vnder
the
very
for
of
the
mountaine
with
his
thre
legions
,
by
the
whiche
way
Catilyne
purposed
to
passe
into
Fraunce
,
and
with
a
greate
numbre
of
horsemen
,
and
lyght
harneysed
,
he
laye
priuilye
in
awayte
in
a
places
mete
and
conuenient
.
Whiche
thynge
whan
Catilyne
,
beinge
entred
into
the
countrey
of
Pystoria
,
knewe
,
he
determyned
for
many
causes
to
make
no
longer
delay
,
but
as
soone
as
euer
he
coulde
,
to
gyue
battayle
to
Antonius
.
Of
all
whiche
this
was
the
most
speciall
cause
,
for
that
he
sawe
before
hym
his
ennemye
Metellus
,
with
thre
legions
,
redy
to
encounter
wyth
hym
:
and
Antonius
at
his
backe
with
a
greate
hoste
,
whiche
dyd
pursue
hym
in
his
flyghte
:
one
euerye
syde
were
the
mountayns
,
whiche
dyd
let
,
that
he
coulde
not
saue
hym selfe
by
flyght
,
and
therfore
he
thought
it
was
no
maystry
for
his
enmies
:
stoppyng
the
wayes
,
that
no
vytayles
shulde
come
to
him
:
to
opteine
the
vyctorye
without
any
stroke
strikinge
,
if
he
shuld
abide
tyll
the
two
hostis
had
inclosed
him
betwene
them
.
Also
he
feared
,
leste
by
longe
delayeng
,
his
army
wolde
slyppe
from
him
.
For
many
fledde
frome
him
,
whan
tydinges
came
,
that
the
matter
wente
yll
on
theyr
syde
at
Rome
:
and
many
hastinge
to
come
to
him
,
retourned
backe
home
ageyne
.
And
also
bycause
the
numbre
of
his
enemies
daylye
encreased
.
Also
the
nede
of
corne
soore
greued
hym
,
for
the
ways
beinge
stopt
,
with
great
peine
any
vitailes
coulde
be
brought
to
him
.
Than
Catilyne
,
all
these
thinges
considered
&
seinge
he
had
no
hoope
(
eyther
to
scape
by
flight
,
or
that
anye
succours
shulde
come
to
him
)
but
onely
in
battayle
,
determined
to
assaye
fortune
,
and
to
proue
the
vttermoste
ayde
.
Wherefore
assemblynge
his
counsaile
togyther
,
and
callinge
to
the
same
counsayle
souldiours
of
all
sortes
and
degrees
,
he
made
to
them
an
oration
,
the
which
though
it
be
found
in
Salust
,
yet
bicause
it
can
not
be
so
properly
Salustis
as
Catilins
,
I
haue
therfore
vnderwriten
here
the
copie
therof
.
For
Iustinus
writeth
,
that
Pompeius
Trogus
,
the
greate
writer
of
hystories
,
reproueth
Liuius
and
Saluste
,
bycause
that
they
in
many
places
of
theyr
bookes
,
putte
other
mens
orations
for
theyr
owne
.
And
so
vndoubtedly
the
oration
that
Salust
hathe
planted
in
the
conspiracye
of
Catiline
,
vnder
the
person
of
Cesar
&
Cato
beinge
at
altercation
togyther
touchinge
the
peyne
&
punishment
of
the
conspirators
(
whiche
we
haue
sowed
to
this
oure
worke
)
were
euery
word
Cesars
&
Catos
,
Plutarchus
sayth
it
:
whiche
wryteth
in
the
lyfe
of
Cato
,
that
M.
Cicero
appoynted
certayne
writers
in
the
Senate
,
whyche
by
theyr
seleritie
and
spedynesse
in
wrytinge
,
shulde
moste
easilye
regester
the
sentences
of
the
Senatours
:
and
by
that
meane
the
same
oration
of
Cato
was
kept
.
But
whether
this
oration
folowynge
,
were
Salustes
,
(
as
I
beleue
it
was
)
or
els
Catilyns
,
I
for
certayn
consyderations
,
wolde
rathere
haue
it
put

Nowe

I
Knowe
verye
well
good
souldiours
,
that
wordes
can
not
make
menne
couragious
,
nor
a
cowarde
and
a
fearefull
armye

can
not
be
made
stronge

valyaunte
by

looke
what
audacitie
euery
man
hathe
by
nature
or
custome
,
suche
is
it
wonte
to
appere
in

.
For
in

shalte
exhort

,
whom
neyther
▪
glory
nor

can
encorage
,
feare
of
the

But
I
haue
tolde
you
together
,
to
declare
vnto
you
a
fewe
thynges
,
and
also
to
kreake
and
open
my
mynde
vnto
youe
.
Ye
know
my
souldiours
,
to
what
affliction
and
myschefe
the
feynt
courage
and
cowardyse
of
Lentulus
,
hath
brought
hym selfe
and
vs
:
and
nowe
that
I
taryeng
for
succours
to
come
frome
the
citie
can
not

passe
into
Fraunce
.
Nowe
you
all
perceyue
as
well
as
I
,
in
what
case
we
stande
.
Oure
ennemyes
haue
two
hostes
,
the
tone
wyll
not
suffre
vs
to
drawe
to
the
citie
,
the
tother
doth
let
vs
to
enter
into
Fraunce
,
to
tary
longer
in
these
places
,
thoughe
we
wolde
neuer
so
fayne
,
nede
and
lacke
of
vytayle
and
other
thynges
wyll
not
suffer
vs
:
whither
so
euer
it
pleaseth
you
to
goo
the
way
must
be
opened
with
your
wepons
.
Wherefore
I
warne
you
,
be
of
good
courage
,
and
whan
ye
shall
fyght
,
remembre
,
that
yf
ye
fyght
manfullye
,
youe
shall
wynne
with
your
handes
not
onely
ryches
,
glorye
,
and
worshyp
,
but
also
lybertie
and
your
countrey
.
If
we
ouercome
,
all
thynges
shall
surely
be
ours
,
we
shal
haue
abundance
of
vitayles
,
cities
and
townes
alyed
to
the
Romayns
shal
be
opened
vnto
vs
.
If
feare
make
vs
to
shrynke
,
the
selfe
same
thynges
shal
be
agaynst
vs
:
for
neyther
place
,
nor
frende
shall
succour
hym
,
whome
his
armour
coulde
not
defende
.
Furthermore
my
souldiors
theyr
necessitie
and
ours
is
not
alyke
:
we
fyghte
for
our
countrey
,
for
our

,
and
oure
lyues
,
it
is
no
nede
for
them
to
fyght
,
that
a
fewe
maye
be
myghty
&
strong
.
Wherfore
set
vpon
them
the
more
boldly
,
remembrynge
what
noble
actes
ye
haue
done
in
tyme
past
.
Ye
myghte
haue
ledde
forth
your
lyues
in
exile
with
greate
shame
and
reproche
:
and
some
of
you
,
hauynge
none
youre
selues
,
myght
haue
gaped
longe
inough
at
Rome
vppon
the
goodes
and
ryches
of

:
But
bycause
that
facion
semed
vnto
you
,
beinge
men
,
shamefull
and
intollerable
:
ye
determyne
to
take
this
waye
.
If
ye
wyll
relynquishe
those
thynges
,
it
behoueth
you
to
be
bolde
.
For
no
man
excepte
a
conquerour
,
changeth

for
peace
.
For
to
hope
to
saue
your selfe
by
flyghte
(
whan
ye
returne
your
backes
,
or
throwe
awaye
your
armour
,
wherewith
youre
bodyes
are
defended
)
that
is
a
verye
madnesse
.
For
euermore
in
batayle
they
are
in
greatest
peryll
,
that
be
mooste
fearefull
.
Boldenesse
is
in
stede
of
a
stronge
wall
.
Whan
I
consyder
youe
my

,
and
whan
I
ponder
youre

,
a

hope
of

enbraceth

youre

oure

the
whiche
maketh
the

The
multitude
of
our
enemies
can
not
compasse
vs
about
,
the
straytnes
of

wyll
not
suffer
them

But
in

that
Fortune

take
heede
that
ye

aloude
:
An
occasion
soo
good
for
the
atcheuyng
of
theyr
busines
,
shulde
not
bee
omitted
,
it
was
tyme
to
set
vpon
them
.
But
C.
Antonius
not
withstandinge
he
estemed
him selfe
a
great
deale
to
strong
for
his
enmies
,
bothe
for
the
multitude
of
hys
&
fewnes
of
theirs
,
&
for
the
ancient
glory
wone
in
warre
yet
he
wolde
not
contende
in
battayle
,
ouermuch
dreding
the
common
hasarde
,
and
vncertaine
chances
of
warre
.
¶
Thus
Antonius
doubtynge
and
resystynge
their
desyre
,
and
saynge
aloude
,
it
pleased
hym
not
to
fyghte
:
sodaynly
his
treasourer
,
P.
Sestius
,
a
valyante
manne
beganne
to
intreate
and
praye
hym
,
that
he
shulde
haue
no
doubte
to
giue
battayle
:
and
othere
whyle
he
accused
hym
,
that
by
delayeng
he
wold
lette
slyppe
soo
good
and
so
great
oportunitie
.
The
goddis
immortall
(
sayde
he
)
do
sygnifye
to
vs
the
vyctorye
.
For
lyke
as
wee
alwayes
desyred
our
souldiours
alredye
encouraged
to
fyght
,
hereafter
we
shall
not
haue
no
suche
occasyon
.
For
if
Catilyne
maye
gette
into
Fraunce
,
we
shall
not
wynne
the
vyctorye
without
great
effusion
of
bloudde
,
and
destruction
of
all
Italy
.
Whith
many
lyke
persuasions
.
at
the
laste
he
broughte
Antonius
in
the
mynde
,
that
he
wold
gyue
battaile
to
Catiline
.
Wherefore
Antonius
,
committynge
the
armye
to
M.
Petreius
(
a
right
noble
and
valiant
man
,
and
in
hyghe
aucthorytie
amonge
the
souldiours
,
and
wondrrfullye
experte
in
chyualrye
)
hym selfe
,
bycause
he
was
syckelye
,
abode
stylle
in
his
tente
.
Than
M.
Petrius
bryngynge
the
armye
out
of
theyr
Campe
,
though
he
sawe
them
desyrous
to
fyght
,
yet
he
iudged
it
for
the
best
to
exhorte
them
,
he
callyd
them
togyther
,
and
with
these
wordes
stomaked
them
.

The
oration
of
M.
Petreius
to
the
souldiours
.
Cap.
lvii
.
AL
thoughe
I
perceyued
good
souldiours
,
that
in
this
case
is
was
noo
nede
to
exhorte
you
to
do
laubable
:
for
why
there
is
no
man
so
ignorante
of
thynges
,
or
so
folyshe
,
whiche
vnderstandeth
not
,
that
yf
Catiline
shulde
at
this
tyme
(
whiche
god
forbyde
)
ouer
come
vs
,
we
shulde
endure
not
onelye
a
cruell
&
proude
domination
,
but
also
an
infamous
,
and
full
of
all
myschiefe
,
nor
shulde
dare
refuse
any
maner
of
sharpe
punyshement
,
youe
knowe
Catilyns
crueltie
:
youe
knowe
there
is
nothinge
in
hym
but
braynsyke
boldnes
,
pryde
,
sensualitie
,
viciousnesse●
,
and
selfe
wyll
,
you
knowe
hys
frendes
,
ye
knowe
all
his
kynrede
,
and
that
vnyuersally
they
are
dycers
,
drunkardes
,
murderers
of
theyr
parentes
,
and
of
all
other
moste
mischefull
.
He
promysed
to
gyue
this
citie
to
his
theues
to
spoyle
,
and
nowe
they
appoynte
out
and
dyuide
amonge
them selfes
,
our
goodes
manours
and
houses
.
Nor
they
do
not
onelye
desyre
our
goodes
,
but
also
beynge
angrie
,
they
couet
oure
bloudde
.
There
is
no
pastyme
moore
pleasant
to
them
,
than
effusion
of
bloudde
,
than
hangynge
,
beatinge
,
and
to
see
the
citesyns
tourmented
before
theyr
faces
.
And
they
that
for
theyr
solace
,
wer
wonte
to
drynke
mennes
bloudde
:
whose
bloudde
trowe
ye
nowe
in
soo
greatte
thryste
and
hatred
of
good
menne
,
wolle
they
spare
to
spyll
?
Therfore
he
that
wyll
not
be
sturred
wyth
these
so
horryble
and
cruell
dedes
:
what
mans
oration
can
any
thynge
do
or
preuayle
with
hym
?
yet
worthy
souldyours
,
I
woll
doo
as
good
maryners
are
wont
,
whiche
though
the
shyppe
hauynge
wynde
at
wyll
,
sayleth
swyftly
:
yet
for
the
more
spede
they
row
with
they
oores
:
And
as
good
horsemen
do
,
whiche
though
they
se
their
horses
gallop
lustily
,
yet
the
with
voyce
and
spurres
courage
them
.
So
likewise
I
exhort
you
being
kendled
,
and
with
those
thynges
vehemently
starred
to
defende
your
lybertie
,
and
(
as
it
is
sayde
)
pricke
you
forwardes
that
rounne
all
redye
.
Wherfore
I
beseche
you
,
dilygentely
,
take
hede
what
I
shall
saye
,
an
prynte
my
wordes
well
in
your
myndes
.
The
matter
nowe
good
souldiours
,
that
we
haue
in
hande
,
is
not
howe
large
or
howe
magnifycent
the
Romayne
boundes
shall
be
:
but
howe
we
shall
this
daye
with
our
swerdes
manyteyne
and
defende
those
thynges
,
that
our
forefathers
by
theyr
many
folde
labours
,
vyctories
,
and
in
manye
yeres
space
conquered
and
got
.
Ye
shal
not
nowe
fight
for
glorye
,
for
trybutes
,
or
to
reuenge
iniuryes
done
to
our
frendes
(
for
whyche
the
Romanye
armye
is
alwaye
wonte
to
entre
in
to
battayle
)
but
for
your
common
weale
,
for
the
temples
for
the
goddes
immortall
,
for
all
your
goodes
,
for
your
aultars
and

,
for
the
lyues
of
your
wyues
and
chyldern
,
for
your
libertie
,
and
fynallye
for
the
healthe
of
all
the
worlde
.
We
muste
contende
with
an
horrible
and
a
cruel
beast
,
whych
because
he
is
fallen
into
the
dyche
,
lette
hym
be
ouerwhelmed
.
Behynde
,
afore
,
and
on
euerye
syde
he
is
harde
holde
,
opppressed
,
and
greued
.
If
he
escape
our
handes
,
this
cruell
pestylence
shall
sodeynly
flye
into
the
fieldes
aboute
the
subburbes
,
than
shall
oure
fieldes
be
wasted
and
distroyed
,
our
manours
robbed
and
spoyled
,
the
goodly
edifyces
of
the

bourned
,
the
honeste
wyues
and

chylderne
shalle
be
taken

In

in

but
in

If

sheweth
her selfe
,
and
in
maner
speaketh
thus
to
you
.
¶
I
haue
endured
many
thynges
,
the
which
in
a
citie
of
freedome
were
not
to
be
suffered
.
For
what
tyme
,
what
day
,
or
what
night
hath
there
ben
,
in
which
those
caytiues
haue
not
wrought
me
some
myscheuous
dyspleasure
?
What
murther
hath
ben
doone
these
many
yeres
without
theym
?
What
vngratious
or
abhomynable
dede
without
them
?
And
though
these
thynges
aforesayde
were
intollerable
,
yet
(
as
I
coulde
)
I
bare
theym
.
But
nowe
who
can
endure
,
that
I
all
togither
for
this
one
mans
sake
,
shoulde
stande
in
drede
and
in
mooste
greattest
daunger
?
Wherfore
moste
valiaunt
souldiours
,
I
beseche
and
praye
you
,
suffre
not
that
I
being
deliuered
by
diuine
counsel
,
and
the
consuls
prudence
,
from
the
snares
and
deceytes
of
Lentulus
and
other
inward
enemies
,
be
oppressed
by
the
cursed
theft
of
this
man
.
Moreouer
I
commende
vnto
you
the
castel
and
capitoll
,
the
walles
of
the
citie
,
your
auters
the
sepulcres
of
your
forefathers
,
the
lawes
,
customes
,
libertie
.
Your
forfathers
contended
in
battayle
not
onely
to
be
out
of
bondage
,
but
also
to
rule
and
commande
.
And
than
what
ought
you
to
do
,
to
escape
the
horryble
and
moste
cruell
dominion
of
this
vncleane
thefe
?
Wherefore
moste
valyaunt
souldyours
,
seynge
the
matter
is
brought
to
so
great
a
ieoperdy
,
eyther
ye
must
this
day
reteyne
styll
by
feate
of
armes
,
the
propper
lybertie
of
the
Romaynes
,
and
of
your
name
,
or
elles
ye
must
preferre
deathe
aboue
bondage
.
For
they
,
these
yuell
doers
,
whiche
victoriousely
ye
shall
vanquyshe
,
shall
also
for
theyr
parentes
sleing
be
punyshed
in
helle
.
But
yf
any
of
you
happe
to
be
slayn
in
the
battayle
,
ye
shall
opteyne
and
come
to
the
place
of
good
blessyd
menne
.
These
words
my
countrey
speaketh
vnto
you
.
Nowe
harken
vnto
me
.
¶
Seynge
good
souldyours
,
that
many
and
dyuerse
kyndes
of
deathe
hange
ouer
men
:
it
semeth
we
ought
rather
to
reioyce
than
to
be
sorye
,
yf
that
sorte
of
dethe
whiche
is
mooste
goodly
(
to
dye
for
oure
countreye
)
shoulde
chaunce
vnto
vs
:
and
that
by
our
deathe
the
libertie
of
the
cytie
myght
be
reteyned
stylle
.
For
the
lyfe
is
shorte
,
but
the
course
of
glorye
is
eternall
.
And
seynge
that
euery
manne
muste
dye
,
we
shoulde
desyre
mooste
specyally
to
dye
for
our
countrey
.
For
though
we
lyue
not
here
bodylye
,
yet
we
shall
lyue
in
perpetuall
glorye
.
But
nowe
trewely
,
that
that
shulde
be
repelled
by
deathe
,
we
maye
eschewe
withoute
shedynge
of
any
of
our
bloudde
.
Whiche
thynge
that
ye
maye
the
better
vnderstande
,
I
wylle
declare
to
you
,
of
what
sortes
of
people
,
this
noble
army
of
Catilins
is
gatheryd
togyther
.
I
here
saye
they
be
conflate
or
gathered
togyther
of
three
kyndes
of
men
.
The
fyrste
kynde
is
of
those
that
Sylla
sente
to
inhabyte
the
towne
of
Fesules
.
These
menne
,
bycause
they
haue
wasted
awaye
theyr
owne
goodes
,
looke
that
Catylyne
shoulde
gyue
theym
newe
tables
,
and
prescriptions
of
ryche
menne
.
For
they
haue
not
forgotte
,
howe
sodeynely
in
Syllas
tyme
of
poore
menne
,
they
were
made
ryche
.
And
not
with
standynge
I
here
saye
they
be
good
bolde
menne
,
yet
I
thynke
theym
in
no
wyse
to
be
doubted
,
for
eyther
that
theyr
olde
strengthe
is
by
ydelnesse
or
bodyly
pleasure
cleane
quayled
,
or
yf
it
remayne
and
contynue
,
they
bothe
in
manlynesse
and
numbre
are
vnable
to
matche
with
you
.
The
seconde
kynde
is
of
those
cytesyns
(
yf
they
may
be
callyd
citesens
and
not
rather
beastes
)
whych
whyle
they
gaped
for
our
goodes
,
wasted
a
way
theyr
owne
.
These
men
,
ouer
whelmed
with
wyne
,
glutted
with
meate
,
and
febled
with
aduoutry
,
loke
to
be
Consulles
,
Pretours
,
or
Trybunes
.
Amonge
this
sort
are
they
,
with
whych
Catiline
being
propt
vp
,
walked
stately
vp
and
downe
at
Rome
,
wiche
he
wolde
neuer
suffre
to
go
from
hym
the
whyche
neuer
exercysed
theyr
youthe
in
rydynge
,
shotyng
,
or
other
good
feates
of
armes
,
in
watchyng
,
in
endurynge
warrelyke
labour
:
but
for
those
thynges
they
lerned
to
loue
and
to
be
loued
,
to
dance
,
syng
,
to
make
bankettes
,
and
to
play
at
dice
.
Wherfore
they
are
nothynge
to
be
cared
for
:
for
they
shal
rather
curse
and
wysshe
vs
yuell
,
than
be
able
,
by
feate
of
armes
to
greue
vs
.
The
thyrde
kynde
is
dyuers
,
myngled
togyther
of
many
sortes
of
people
.
For
in
this
route
are
all
dycers
,
aduouterers
,
swordplayers
,
shepards
,
robbers
,
parentsleers
,
finally
all
vngratious
knaues
,
and
moste
pestilent
of
all
Italy
.
I
iuge
veryly
all
those
to
be
gathered
here
togither
,
that
now
this
day
they
may
for
theyr
myschieuous
dedes
receyue
punyshemente
,
dewe
vnto
theym
many
yeares
agone
.
And
of
all
this
greatte
route
,
scarse
the
fourthe
parte
is
well
harneysed
.
All
othere
gaue
no
targettes
,
helmettes
,
moryspykes
,
nor
harneys
:
But
for
these
thynges
they
haue
hedginge
bylles
,
iauelyns
,
or
pyked
stakes
.
Oh
battayle
verye
moche
to
be
feared
,
whan
menne
vnarmed
,
shall
fyght
wyth
armed
men
,
foolyshe
loutes
with
men
moste
polytyke
,

,
lyther
luskes
,
with
men
moste
stronge
and
hardy
,
sluggysshe
slepers
with
men
vigilaunt
and
watchefull
:
Whanne
fynally
iniquitie
,
myschiefe
,
lechery
,
nedynesse
,
cowardyse
,
foolehardynesse
,
all
vyces
shall
contende
wyth
equytie
,
goodnesse
:
temperaunce
,
strengthe
,
prudence
,
and
with
all
other
vertues
.
Also
we
muste
nedes
truste
,
that
in
this
battayle
,
the
verye
goddis
immortall
woll
fauourable
prospere
vs
.
Wherefore
,
excepte
we
wolle
nedes
be
slaues
,
the
vyctorie
is
surelye
ours
.
Whyche
thynges
beinge
thus
good
souldyours
.
I
admonyshe
you
for
the
common
whealthes
sake
(
than
whiche
nothynge
ought
to
be
derer
vnto
anye
manne

I
exhorte
you
for
my
greate
dylygence
,
whiche
ye
knowe
I
haue
practysed
in
warre
faare
,
and
I

Therefore

Howe

CATILINE
in
the
meane
whyle
sent
succours
to
suche
of
his
menne
as
weere
in
daungier
,
and
their
places
that
were
wounded
and
wearie
,
he
furnyshed
with
freshe
and
lustie
souldiours
,
he
ofte
strake
his
ennemye
,
and
exhorted
them
that
weere
slowe
to
battayle
,
hee
retourned
backe
theym
that
fledde
,
and
rounynge
hyther
and
thyther
,
he
soo
dilygently
prouyded
for
all
thynges
,
that
it
were
harde
to
iudge
,
whither
he
played
the
parte
of
a
souldiour
mooste
valyant
,
or
of
a
capytayne
moste
politike
.
But
at
the
self

Wolde

Catilyn

hadde
as
good
a
mynde
to

as
he
had
a
body
to
make
warre
,
and
wolde
to

he
had
not
consumed
his
excellent
wytte
in
myschiefe
.
Assuredly
fewe
citesynes
wolde
haue
gouerned
the
common
weale
better
than
he
.
But
whan
the
immoderate
luste
to
rule
and
haue
the
souerayntie
,
had
swalowed
hym
vp
,
all
these
ornamentes
,
whiche
in
hym
were
excedynge
great
,
with
this
myschief
were
obscured
.
And
whyle
he
coueted
to

L.
Sylla
,
and
C.
Marius
,
he
was
founde
to
be
moste
vnlyke
to
his
auncestours
.
For
Catilyne
(
I
wyll
omytte
his

was
the
sonnes
son
of
that
M.
Sergius
,

soo

Not

I
redde
of

that
say
,
that
Catilynes

came
out

But
nothyng
can
be
spoken
more
contrary
to

But
nowe
let

Than
Catilynes

Catilynes

Whan

such

that
there
was

myght

And
whyle

all

there
foughte

At

¶
The
warre
that
C.
Promptinius
made
wyth
the
Delphinois
.
Cap.
lx
.
THE
same
season
certaine
of
the
conspiratoures
,
with
greate
promyses
sturred
the
Delphinois
to
make
warre
to
the
Romaines
,
whiche
thinge
I
meruaile
that
Saluste
(
whiche
wrote
thys
conspiracie
)
spake
nothinge
of
.
Than
to
represse
their
violence
,
an
armie
was
sente
forthe
,
leddé
by
C.
Promptinius
,
whiche
beynge
Pretor
with
L.
Flaccus
,
toke
the
deteccions
of
the
conspiracie
:
who
fought
with
them
manie
times
prosperouselie
.
And
whan
he
had
with
many
batailes
weried
the
Delphinois
,
and
the
common
weale
deliuerid
from
drede
,
being
in
rest
,
he
determined
to
go
no
farther
.
For
alway
tyll
that
time
the
Romaine
capitaines
thoughte
better
to
resyst
the
frenche
men
by
war
,
than
to
prouoke
them
to
it
:
Nor
there
was
none
other
nacion
thoughte
able
to
make
warre
to
the
Romaines
.
All
other
businesses
both
by
lande
and
sea
,
for
the
most
part
by
the
prowes
onelie
of
Gn.
Pompeius
,
were
surelie
pacified
.
¶
The
other
conspiratours
condempned
at
Rome
.
Cap.
lxi
.
AFter
this
at
Rome
greate
and
greuouse
Iudgementes
were
geuen
againste
the
conspyratoures
,
L.
Vergunteius
a
Senatour
P.
Antronius
,
Seruius
Sylla
,
C.
Cornelyus
,
Marcus
Lecca
,
M.
Fuluius
nobilior
,
and
manie
other
weere
condempned
.
Yet
manye
of
the
partenars
of
the
conspiracie
escaped
.
For
whan
the
citye
,
and
almoste
all
Italy
was
infected
with
this
myschiefe
,
the
Senate
thoughte
,
that
by
the
punishment
of
a
fewe
,
the
myndes
of
the
other
myghte
be
cured
.
But
thys
thynge
I
wyl
not
leaue
vnspoken
:
for
though
the
lawes
wyll
not
,
that
seruauntes
shulde
be
rackte
to
accuse
their
masters
,
yet
concerninge
this
myscheful
conspiracie
,
they
rackte
them
to
disclose
their
masters
.
And
no
wronge
.
For
the
mooste
prudente
Senatours
decreed
,
that
they
that
had
enterprised
so
great
a
mischiefe
,
ought
to
be
bare
and
destitute
of
al
helpe
both
of
lawe
and
man
.
Thus
Catilynes
warre
,
the
most
terrible
&
most
perilous
that
man
can
remember
,
was
by
Cicero
in
his
robe
and
bi
Antonius
armed
capitaynes
and
Consulles
,
stinted
and
brought
to
an
ende
.
