[129]
But I entreat you, O judges, to listen to the few things I have still to say, under the
idea that I am speaking partly for myself, and party for Sextus Roscius. For the things
which appear to me unworthy and intolerable, and which I think concern all men unless we
are prudent, those things I now mention to you for my own sake, from the real feelings
and indignation of my mind. What relates to the misfortunes of the life, and to the
cause of my client, and what he wishes to be said for him, and with what condition he
will be content, you shall hear, O judges, immediately at the end of my speech. I ask
this of Chrysogonus of my own accord, leaving Sextus Roscius out of the question.
