Ciceronis Oratio in Catilinam Prima; §§ 1, 3–5, 7, 9 ^{(at wikisource)}

Quousque tandem abutêre, Catilina, patientia nostra? quamdiu nos etiam furor iste tuus eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata jactabit audacia? nihilne te nocturnum præsidium palatii, nihil urbis vigiliæ, nihil timor populi, nihil consensus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi se-

Melium, novis rebus studentem, manu sua occîdit. Fuit, fuit ista quondam in hac repub. virtus, ut viri fortes acrioribus suppliciis civem perniciosum, quam acerbissimum hostem coërcerent. Habemus enim senatusconsultum in te, Catilina, vehemens, & grave: non deest reip. consilium, neque autoritas hujus ordinis: nos, nos, dico aperte, consules desumus. Decrevit quondam senatus

At nos vigesimum jam diem patimur hebescere aciem horum autoritatis. habemus enim hujusmodi senatusconsultum, verumtamen inclusum in tabulis, tanquam gladium in vagina reconditum: quo ex senatusconsulto confestim interfectum te esse, Catilina, convenit. Vivis: & vivis non ad deponendam, sed ad confirmandam audaciam. Cupio, P.C., me esse clementem: cupio in tantis reipub. periculis non dissolutum videri: sed jam meipsum inertiæ

Verum ego hoc, quod jampridem factum esse oportuit, certa de caussa nondum adducor ut faciam. tum denique interficiam te, cum jam nemo tam improbus, tam perditus, tam tui similis inveniri poterit, qui id non jure factum esse fateatur. Quamdiu quisquam erit qui te defendere audeat, vives: & vives, ita ut nunc vivis, multis meis & firmis præsidiis obsessus, ne commovere te contra rempub. possis. multorum te etiam oculi & aures non sentientem, sicut adhuc fecerunt, speculabuntur, atque custodient. Etenim quid est, Catilina, quod jam amplius exspectes,

Novemb. C. Manlium audaciæ satellitem atque administrum tuæ? num me fefellit, Catilina, non modo res tanta, tam atrox, tam incredibilis, verum, id quod multo magis est admirandum, dies? Dixi ego idem in senatu, cædem te optimatum contulisse in ante diem v Kalend. Novemb. tum cum multi principes civitatis Rom. non tam sui conservandi, quam tuorum consiliorum reprimendorum caussa profugerunt. num inficiari potes, te illo ipso die meis præsidiis, mea diligentia circumclusum, commovere te contra rempub. non potuisse; cum tu discessu ceterorum, nostra tamen, qui remansissemus, cæde contentum te esse dicebas? Quid? cum te Præneste Kalend. ipsis Novembris occupaturum nocturno

O dii immortales! ubi-nam gentium sumus? quam rempub. habemus? in qua urbe vivimus? hic, hic sunt in nostro numero, P.C., in hoc orbis terræ [s]anctissimo gravissimoque consilio, qui de meo, nostrumque omnium interitu, qui de hujus urbis, atque adeo orbis terrarum exitio cogitent. hosce ego video consul, & de republica sententiam rogo: & quos ferro trucidari oportebat, eos nondum voce vulnero. Fuisti igitur apud Leccam ea nocte, Catilina: distribuisti partes Italiæ: statuisti quo quemque proficisci placeret: delegisti quos Romæ relinqueres, quos tecum educeres: descripsisti urbis partes ad incendia: confirmasti, te ipsum jam esse exiturum: dixisti paululum tibi esse etiam tum moræ, quod ego viverem. Reperti sunt duo equites Romani, qui te ista curar liberarent, & sese illa ipsa nocte paulo ante lucem me in meo, lectulo interfecturos pollice[re]ntur. Hæc ego omnia, vix dum etiam coetu vestro dimisso, comperi: domum meam majoribus præsidiis munivi, atque firmavi: exclusi eos, quos tu mane ad me salutatum miseras, cum illi ipsi venissent,
