Quapropter, quoniam res in id discrimen adducta est utrum ille poenas rei publicae luat an nos serviamus, aliquando, per deos immortalis, patres conscripti, patrium animum virtutemque capiamus, ut aut libertatem propriam Romani generis et nominis recuperemus aut mortem servituti anteponamus!
Therefore, since there is now the critical question before us whether he pays his penalty to the Republic or we become slaves, by the immortal gods, Members of the Senate, let us at last take our fathers spirit and courage, resolving to regain the freedom that belongs to the Roman race and name, or else to prefer death to slavery!
