Nostra memoria senatores ne in suis quidem periculis mutare vestem solebant: in meo periculo senatus veste mutata fuit quoad licuit per eorum edicta, qui mea pericula non modo suo praesidio, sed etiam vestra deprecatione nudarunt.
Within my recollection it was never customary with senators to change their garmentsb even in their own perils; but in the hour of my peril the whole senate changed their garments, in so far as they were not prevented from doing so by the edicts of those who robbed me in my perilous situation not only of their own protection but of your intercession.
