Arserat et ante Capitolium civili bello, sed fraude privata: nunc palam obsessum, palam incensum, quibus armorum causis? Quo tantae cladis pretio? Stetit dum pro patria bellavimus.
The Capitol had indeed been burned before in civil war, but the crime was that of private individuals. Now it was openly besieged, openly burned'and what were the causes that led to arms? What was the price paid for this great disaster? This temple stood intact so long as we fought for our country.
