Sed videbam, si vicissem praesentem adversarium, nimium multos mihi alios esse vincendos: si victus essem, multis bonis et pro me et mecum etiam post me esse pereundum, tribuniciique sanguinis ultores esse praesentes, meae mortis poenas iudicio et posteritati  reservari.
But I saw that, if I proved victorious over my immediate foe, there would still be others, too many others, whom I should have to vanquish; and if, on the other hand, I were defeated, many good patriots would shortly have to meet their doom with me, for me, even after me, and while the blood of a tribunea might find immediate avengers, retribution for my own death was reserved for  the verdict of later generations.
