enemy should be branded with such ignominy as no one ever was before? that
that senate, which has now got into such a regular habit and practice of
kindness as to confer on those who have managed the affairs of the republic
successfully, honours hitherto unexampled, both in the number of days which
they last and in the language in which they are decreed, should refuse
belief to the letters of this man alone, when reporting his success, and
should refuse him what he demanded in them?
