Multa quae in libera civitate ferenda non essent tulimus et perpessi sumus, alii spe forsitan recuperandae libertatis, alii vivendi nimia cupiditate: sed si illa tulimus quae nos necessitas ferre coegit, quae vis quaedam paene fatalis'quae tamen ipsa non tulimus'etiamne huius impuri latronis feremus taeterrimum crudelissimumque dominatum?
Much that should be intolerable in a free community we steeled ourselves to tolerate, some of us maybe in the hope of regaining freedom, others from too much love of living. But if we bore what necessity and a force that seemed like destiny compelled us to bear (and yet we did not bear it), shall we bear the most cruel and horrible despotism of this foul cutthroat?
