Mil. 32.1Nec vērō nōn eadem īra deōrum hanc eius satellitibus iniēcit āmentiam ut sine imāginibus, sine cantū atque lūdīs, sine exsequiīs, sine lāmentīs, sine laudātiōnibus, sine fūnere, oblitus cruōre et lutō, spoliātus illīus suprēmī diēī celebritāte cui cēdere inimīcī etiam solent ambūrerētur abiectus.Nor indeed did the same anger of the gods fail to inflict on his henchmen this madness, so that without the masks of his ancestors, without singing and games, without funeral procession, without laments, without eulogies, without a funeral, smeared with blood and mud, robbed of the ceremony of that last day which even enemies are wont to grant, he was cast out and half burnt. Mil. 32.1Nōn fuisse crēdō fās clārissimōrum virōrum fōrmās illī taeterrimō parricīdae aliquid decoris adferre, neque ūllō in locō potius mortem eius lacerārī quam in quō esset vīta damnāta.It was not right, I believe, that the images of most distinguished men should bring any honour to that most foul parricide, nor that his corpse should be mangled in any place rather than in the one where his life had been condemned. Mil. 32.87Dūra, mē dius fidius, mihi iam fortūna populī Rōmānī et crūdēlis vidēbātur, quae tot annōs illum in hanc rem pūblicam īnsultāre paterētur.The fortune of the Roman people, so help me, seemed to me harsh by now and cruel, to allow him for so many years to trample on this state.
Mil. 32.87Polluerat stuprō sānctissimās religiōnēs, senātūs gravissima dēcrēta perfrēgerat, pecūniā sē ā iūdicibus palam redēmerat, vexārat in tribūnātū senātum, omnium ōrdinum cōnsēnsū prō salūte reī pūblicae gesta resciderat, mē patriā expulerat, bona dīripuerat, domum incenderat, līberōs, coniugem meam vexārat, Cn. Pompeiō nefārium bellum indīxerat, magistrātuum prīvātōrumque caedis effēcerat, domum meī frātris incenderat, vāstārat Etrūriam, multōs sēdibus ac fortūnīs ēiēcerat;He had polluted the most sacred rites with lust, broken through the most weighty decrees of the senate, openly bought himself off from the judges with money, harassed the senate in his tribunate, rescinded what had been done for the safety of the state with the agreement of all orders, driven me from my country, plundered my goods, burned my house, harassed my children and my wife, declared abominable war on Gnaeus Pompey, brought about the murders of magistrates and private citizens, burned my brother's house, laid waste Etruria, thrown many out of their homes and fortunes; Mil. 32.87īnstābat, urgēbat;he pressed on, he pressed hard; Mil. 32.87capere eius āmentiam cīvitās, Ītalia, prōvinciae, regna nōn poterant;the community, Italy, the provinces, the kingdoms could not contain his madness; Mil. 32.87incīdēbantur iam domī lēgēs quae nōs servīs nostrīs addīcerent;laws were already being engraved at his house which would make us over to our own slaves; Mil. 32.87nihil erat cuiusquam, quod quidem ille adamāsset, quod nōn hōc annō suum fore putāret.there was nothing belonging to anyone, at least nothing that he had fallen in love with, which he did not think would be his this year.
Mil. 32.88Obstābat eius cōgitātiōnibus nēmō praeter Milōnem.No one stood in the way of his plans but Milo. Mil. 32.88Illum ipsum quī poterat obstāre novō reditū in grātiam sibi dēvīnctum arbitrābātur;The very man who could have stood in his way he thought was bound to him by their recent reconciliation; Mil. 32.88Caesaris potentiam suam esse dīcēbat;Caesar's power he called his own; Mil. 32.88bonōrum animōs in meō cāsū contempserat: Milō ūnus urgēbat.the feelings of good men he had despised in my misfortune: Milo alone pressed on him.
