tu videlicet efferatae barbariae immanitate truculentior habenas Romani imperii, quas princeps parensque noster salutari dextera continet, capere potuisti? aut te compote furoris mundus in suo statu mansisset? urbem a Gallis captam, e trecentorum inclitae gentis virorum strage foedatum <amnem Cremeram et> Alliensem diem, et oppressos in Hispania Scipiones et Trasumennum lacum et Cannas, bellorumque civilium domestico sanguine manantes mucrones amentibus propositis furoris tui repraesentare et vincere voluisti.
Could you, more ferocious than the brutality of savage barbary, have taken the reins of Roman empire which our leader and father holds in his saving hand? Or if you had achieved your madness, would the world have stayed in place? Rome captured by the Gauls, the river Cremera disfigured by the slaughter of three hundred warriors of a famous clan, the day of the Allia, the Scipios destroyed in Spain, Trasimene lake, Cannae, the blades of the civil wars streaming with domestic blood: all these you wished to manifest and surpass by the crazy designs of your delirium.
