his lacrimis non commovetur1 Milo—est quodam incredibili
robore animi—exsilium ibi esse putat ubi virtuti
non sit locus; mortem naturae finem esse, non poenam.
sit2 hic ea mente qua natus est: quid? vos, iudices, quo
tandem eritis animo3? memoriam Milonis retinebitis, ipsum
eicietis? et erit dignior locus ullus in terris4 qui hanc
virtutem excipiat quam hic qui procreavit? vos5, vos appello,
fortissimi viri, qui multum pro re publica sanguinem6
effudistis; vos, inquam, in civis7 invicti periculo appello8, centuriones,
vosque, milites: vobis non modo inspectantibus
sed etiam armatis et huic iudicio praesidentibus haec tanta
virtus ex hac urbe expelletur, exterminabitur, proicietur?
O me miserum, o me infelicem!
