Vos pro libertate, quam ab illis accepistis, nonne summa ope nitemini'atque eo vehementius, quo maius dedecus est parta amittere quam omnino non paravisse ? Dicet aliquis Quid igitur censes? Vindicandum in eos qui hosti prodidere rem publicam, non manu neque vi, quod magis vos fecisse quam illis adcidisse indignum est, verum quaestionibus et indicio ipsius Iugurthae.
will you not do everything in your power in defense of the liberty which they bequeathed to you'and all the more ardently, seeing that it is a greater disgrace to lose what has been won than never to have acquired it? Someone will say, What then do you advise? My view is that those who have betrayed their country to the enemy must be punished, yet not by might and not by violence (which it is a less becoming act for you to perform than for them to suffer) but rather by the courts and by Jugurthas own testimony.
