hic, qui ventosae scandit fastigia famae inflaturque cavo pompae popularis honore, qui summum solidumque bonum putat ambi-tionis crescere successu, praeconum voce trementes exanimare reos, miserorum in corpora fasces frangere, terribiles legum exercere secures, in laqueum iam colla dedit, iam compededura nectitur et pedibus servilia vincula limat.
This one, who climbs the heights of windy reputation and is puffed up with the unsubstantial fame of popular display, who thinks it the chief and only real good to succeed in pushing himself farther and farther forward, to terrify prisoners at the bar who tremble at the voice of the criers, to break the rods on poor wretches bodies and wield the terror-striking axes of the law, has already put his head into the noose, already he is bound with the hard fetter and rubbing smooth with his feet the shackles of slavery.
