There were doubtless many diversities in their intellectual and moral character, but there was a strong family likeness. It was by circumstance, rather than by any strong bias of inclination, that they were led to take a prominent part in active life. It is impossible to deny that they committed many acts which would justly bring upon a statesman of our time censures of the most serious kind. But, when we consider the state of morality in their age, and the unscrupulous character of the adversaries against whom they

had to contend, we are forced to admit that it is not without reason that their names are still held in veneration by their countrymen.

(a) Memineram, iudices, divinum illum virum
atque ex isdem quibus nos radicibus natum ad
salutem huius imperii, C. Marium, summa senec-
tute, cum vi prope iustorum armorum profugisset,
primo senile corpus paludibus occultasse demer-
sum, deinde ad infimorum ac tenuissimorum
hominum Minturnensium misericordiam confu-
gisse; inde navigio perparvo, cum omnis portus
terrasque fugeret, in oras Africae desertissimas
pervenisse. Atqui ille vitam suam, ne inultus
esset, ad incertissimam spem et ad rei publicae
fatum reservavit : ego, qui, quem ad modum
multi in senatu me absente dixerunt, periculo rei
publicae vivebam quique ob eam causam con-
sularibus litteris de senatus sententia exteris
nationibus commendabar, nonne, si meam vitam
deseruissem, rem publicam prodidissem?
(b) Ibis Liburnis inter alta navium,
Amice, propugnacula,

Paratus omne Caesaris periculum
Subire, Maecenas, tuo.

Quid nos, quibus te vita si superstite
Iucunda, si contra, gravis ?
Utrumne iussi persequemur otium
Non dulce, ni tecum simul,

An hunc laborem, mente laturi, decet
Qua ferre non molles viros?

notes

(a) Titus Larcius non id tempus esse ut merita tantummodo exsolverentur; totam plebem aere alieno demersam esse, nec sisti posse ni omnibus consulatur; quin, si alia aliorum sit condicio, accendi magis discordiam quam sedari. Ap. Claudius, et natura immitis et efferatus hinc plebis odio illinc patrum laudibus, non miseriis ait sed licentia tantum concitum turbarum, et lascivire magis plebem quam saevire. Id adeo malum ex provocatione natum: quippe minas esse consulum, non imperium, ubi ad eos qui una peccaverint, provocare liceat. "Agedum "inquit "dictatorem, a quo provocatio non est, creemus ! Iam hic, quo nunc omnia ardent, conticescet furor. Pulset tum mihi lictorem, qui sciet ius de tergo vitaque sua penes unum illum esse cuius maiestatem violarit."

(b)

O navis, referent in mare te novi
Fluctus! O quid agis? Fortiter occupa
Portum! Nonne vides, ut
Nudum remigio latus

Et malus celeri saucius Africo
Antennaeque gemant, ac sine funibus
Vix durare carinae

Possint imperiosius

Aequor? Non tibi sunt integra lintea,
Non di, quos iterum pressa voces malo.
