Tandem silentio facto, magis quia motum esse credebant quam quia ipsi moveri poterant, quidnam acturus esset, exspectabant, cum ille: Quid haec, inquit, repens consternatio et tam procax atque effusa licentia denuntiat? Eloqui metuo, palam certe; rupistis imperium, et precario rex sum, cui non alloquendi, non noscendi monendique  aut intuendi vos ius reliquistis.
At last, when silence had been made rather because they thought that he had been influenced than because they could be, they were waiting to see what he would do, when he said: What does this sudden disturbance and such insolent and furious lawlessness threaten? I fear to speak, at least plainly; you have broken my authority and I am king on sufferance, to whom you have not left the privilege of addressing you, of knowing and advising you, or even of looking you in the face.
