Cicero Day 6 Ch10-12

Haec ego omnia, vixdum etiam coetu vestro dimisso, comperi.

I learned all these things when your meeting had scarcely even been dismissed.

(Domum meam maioribus praesidiis munivi atque firmavi.)

(I fortified and secured my house with larger protective forces.)

Exclusi eos (quos tu ad me salutatum mane miseras,) cum illi ipsi venissent, quos ego iam (multis ac summis viris ad me id temporis venturos esse) praedixeram.

I turned away those whom you had sent to greet me in the morning, when those very men had arrived whom I had already predicted would come to me at that time, along with many distinguished men.

Quae cum ita sint, Catilina, perge quo coepisti!

Since these things are so, Catiline, continue on the path you have begun!

Egredere aliquando ex urbe!

Leave the city at last!

Patent portae: proficiscere!

The gates are open: depart!

(Nimium diu) te imperatorem (tua illa Manliana castra) desiderant.

(For far too long,) those camps of Manlius (are longing for you as their commander.)

Educ tecum etiam omnes tuos; si minus, quam plurimos.

Take all your followers with you; if not all, then as many as possible.

Purga urbem.

Cleanse the city.

Magno me metu liberabis, dummodo inter me atque te murus intersit.

You will free me from great fear, provided that a wall stands between you and me.

Nobiscum versari iam diutius non potes: non feram, non patiar, non sinam!

You can no longer remain among us: I will not tolerate it, I will not endure it, I will not allow it!

Nunc iam aperte rem publicam universam petis: templa deorum immortalium, tecta urbis, vitam omnium civium, Italiam totam ad exitium et vastitatem vocas.

Now you are openly attacking the entire Republic: you are bringing the temples of the immortal gods, the buildings of the city, the lives of all citizens, and all of Italy toward destruction and devastation.

Quare quoniam id quod est primum, et quod huius imperii disciplinaeque maiorum proprium est, facere nondum audeo, faciam id quod est ad severitatem lenius et ad communem salutem utilius.

Therefore, since I do not yet dare to do what is the first and characteristic action of this authority and the tradition of our ancestors, I will do what is milder in severity and more useful for the common safety.

Nam si te interfici iussero, residebit in re publica reliqua coniuratorum manus.

For if I order you to be killed, the remaining band of conspirators will remain in the Republic.

Sin tu (quod te iam dudum hortor) exieris, exhaurietur ex urbe tuorum comitum magna et perniciosa sentina rei publicae.

But if you leave (as I have been urging you for a long time), the great and dangerous cesspool of your companions will be drained out of the city, bringing relief to the Republic.
