Hoc vero tempore in tanta inopia constantium et fortium consularium quo me dolore adfici creditis, cum alios male sentire, alios nihil omnino curare videam, alios parum constanter in suscepta causa permanere sententiamque suam non semper utilitate rei publicae, sed tum spe tum timore moderari?
But today, when we are so badly off for brave and resolute consulars, what distress do you think I feel when I see some expressing disloyal sentiments, others totally indifferent, others not persevering resolutely enough in the cause they have embraced and not always regulating their views by reference to the advantage of the Republic but sometimes by hope and sometimes by fear!
