Etenim, patres conscripti, cum in spem libertatis sexennio post sumus ingressi diutiusque servitutem perpessi quam captivi servi frugi et diligentes solent, quas vigilias, quas sollicitudines, quos labores liberandi populi Romani causa recusare debemus?
Indeed, Members of the Senate, now that after six years we have begun to entertain the hope of liberty, after enduring servitude longer than enslaved prisoners of war customarily do if they are well behaved and conscientious, we must decline no vigils, no anxieties, no labors in the cause of the freedom of the Roman people.
