Dabiturne rursus videre consulem illum? Audiet reddet quas proxime voces, praestabitque gaudium quantum ipse percipiet? Praesidebit laetitiae publicae auctor eius et causa, temptabitque adfectus nostros ut solet cohibere nec poterit? Pietati certe senatus cum modestia principis felix speciosumque certamen, seu fuerit victa seu vicerit.
Shall we be permitted to see him as consul once again? Will he hear and repeat the formula of yesterday, and give us pleasure equal to his own? Will he preside over our public rejoicing, as its author and its object, attempt (as is his wont) to check our outbursts of enthusiasm'and fail to do so? The Senates loyal devotion will match itself against the princes moderation in a splendid struggle, happy in its outcome whether it triumphs or not.
