Quod quidem cuius temperantiae fuit, de M. Antonio querentem abstinere maledicto, praesertim cum tu reliquias rei publicae dissipavisses, cum domi tuae turpissimo mercatu omnia essent venalia, cum leges eas quae numquam promulgatae essent et de te et a te latas confiterere, cum auspicia augur, intercessionem consul sustulisses, cum esses foedissime stipatus armatis, cum omnis impuritates pudica in domo cotidie susciperes vino lustrisque confectus.
That speech required a good deal of self-restraint'to complain of Marcus Antonius while refraining from personal attack! And that too after you had scattered the last remnants of the Republic to the winds, when everything was up for sale at your house in a shameful market, when you were acknowledging that you were both the beneficiary and author of legislation that was adopted without ever having been promulgated, when as augur you had abolished the auspices and as consul the right of veto, when you were surrounded by your abominable armed bodyguard, when you were daily indulging in every kind of vice in a virtuous house, exhausted by drink and debauchery?
