non vidit eorum ipsorum, qui tum adulescentes

diebus post mortem Crassi depulsus per invidiam tribunatu
non multis ab eo tempore mensibus eiectus est e civitate;
Sulpicius autem, qui in eadem invidiae flamma fuisset, quibuscum
privatus coniunctissime vixerat, hos in tribunatu
spoliare instituit omni dignitate; cui quidem ad summam
gloriam eloquentiae efflorescenti ferro erepta vita est et
poena temeritatis non sine magno rei publicae malo constituta.

Ego vero te, Crasse, cum vitae flore tum mortis
opportunitate divino consilio et ornatum et exstinctum
esse arbitror; nam tibi aut pro virtute animi constantiaque

ab atrocitate mortis vindicasset, eadem esse te funerum
patriae spectatorem coegisset; neque solum tibi improborum
dominatus, sed etiam propter admixtam civium
caedem bonorum victoria maerori fuisset.
