Here
Catiline is compared to Gracchus, the constitution
of the state to the whole world, a slight change for
the worse to fire and sword and desolation, and a
private citizen to the consuls, all comparisons
affording ample opportunity for further individual
expansion, if anyone should desire so to do.
