Quo die, si per amicos mihi cupienti in senatum venire licuisset, caedis initium fecisset a me; sic enim statuerat; cum autem semel gladium scelere imbuisset, nulla res ei finem caedendi nisi defetigatio et satietas attulisset.
If my friends had permitted me to come to the senate that day as I wanted to do, he would have launched a massacre beginning with me; so he had determined. And when once he had dipped his blade in crime, nothing but weariness and satiety would have made him stop the slaughter.
