Ecquandone vidisti, Maxime, flammam stipula exortam claro crepitu, largo fulgore, cito incremento, sed enim materia levi, caduco incendio, nullis reliquiis? Em tibi illa accusatio iurgiis inita, verbis aucta, argumentis defecta, nullis post sententiam tuam reliquiis calumniae permansura.
Have you ever, Maximus, seen a fire starting from stubble? It crackles loudly, shines brightly, spreads quickly, but lacking fuel its flames die down and leave no trace. Well, that is like this prosecution: begun with insults, heaped up with verbiage, short of proofs, but after your verdict fated to leave no trace of its slanders.
