Servī mēhercule meī sī mē istō pactō metuerent ut tē metuunt omnēs cīvēs tuī, domum meam relinquendam putārem; tū tibi urbem nōn arbitrāris?

By Hercules, if my slaves feared me in that way as all your citizens fear you, I would think I must leave my house; don't you think you must leave the city?

Et sī mē meīs cīvibus iniūriā suspectum tam graviter atque offēnsum vidērem, carēre mē aspectū cīvium quam īnfēstīs omnium oculīs cōnspicī māllem.

And if I saw that my fellow citizens unjustly suspected and deeply resented me, I would rather avoid seeing them than be seen by everyone's hostile eyes.

Tū cum cōnscientiā scelerum tuōrum āgnōscās odium omnium iūstum et iam diū tibi dēbitum, dubitās, quōrum mentēs sēnsūsque vulnerās, eōrum aspectum praesentiamque vītāre?

Since with the awareness of your crimes you recognize that everyone's hatred is justified and long deserved, do you hesitate to avoid the sight and presence of those whose minds and feelings you wound?

New cards

Sī tē parentēs timērent atque ōdissent tuī neque eōs ūllā ratiōne plācāre possēs, ut opīnor, ab eōrum oculīs aliquō concēderēs.

If your parents feared and hated you and you could not appease them in any way, you would, I think, withdraw to some other place from their sight.

New cards

Nunc tē patria, quae commūnis est parēns omnium nostrum, ōdit ac metuit et iam diū nihil tē iūdicat nisi dē parricīdiō suō cōgitāre.

Now your country, which is the common parent of us all, hates and fears you, and has long judged that you think of nothing except its destruction.

Huius tū neque auctōritātem verēbere nec iūdicium sequēre nec vim pertimēscēs?

Will you neither respect her authority, follow her judgment, nor fear her power?
