Abest quidem optimus causae meae iudex; qui cur me ipse audire noluerit non, mehercule, excogito, cum illi, utrimque cognita causa, tam damnare me liceat quam absolvere, non cognita vero, liberari absenti non possum  qui a praesente damnatus sum.
In fact, the best judge of my cause is not present; why he should not wish to hear me himself, I cannot, by Heaven! imagine, since after having heard both sides of the case, he can as readily condemn me as acquit me, but if he has not heard both sides, I cannot be acquitted in his absence since I  was condemned by him when he was present.
