[8]
hanc mihi tu si propter meas
res1 gestas imponis in omni vita mea2, Torquate, personam3,
vehementer erras. me natura misericordem, patria severum,
crudelem nec patria nec natura4 esse voluit; denique istam
ipsam personam vehementem et acrem quam mihi tum
tempus et res publica imposuit iam voluntas et natura ipsa
detraxit. illa enim ad breve tempus severitatem postulavit,
haec in omni vita misericordiam lenitatemque desiderat.
