Quis enim ullam ullius boni spem haberet in eo, cuius primum tempus aetatis palam fuisset ad omnes libidines divulgatum, qui ne a sanctissima quidem parte corporis potuisset hominum impuram intemperantiam propulsare, qui cum suam rem non minus strenue quam postea publicam confecisset, egestatem et luxuriem domestico lenocinio sustentavit, qui nisi in aram tribunatus confugisset, neque vim praetoris nec multitudinem creditorum nec bonorum proscriptionem effugere potuisset:
For who could hope for any good thing from one who, in his earliest youth, had degraded himself to pander openly and indiscriminately to the lowest of human passions; who had been unable to protect his chastity from the licentious assaults of impurity; who, having applied himself as busily to the exhaustion of his private resources as later to that of the states, supported his destitution and extravagance by turning his house into a brothel, and who, had he not flown for refuge to the sanctuary of the tribunate, would have been unable to escape either the multitude of his creditors or the proscription of his fortunes?
