Messalina lines 8-17: Messalina's visits to Silius become increasingly more frequent

For my own gcse revision

illa non furti sed multi cum comitibus ventitat donum, egredienti adhaeret, dat opes honoresque;

She visited the house frequently, not secretly, but with many companions, clung to him when he went out, gave him wealth and honours:

postremo servi, liberti, paratus principis apud adulterum saepe videbantur.

finally, slaves, freedmen, the furnishings of the emperor were often seen at the adulterer’s house.

at Claudius matrimonii sui ignarius.

But Claudius was unaware of (the state of) his own marriage.

iam Messalina propter facilitatem adulteriorum ad novas libidines versa est.

Now Messalina, because of the easiness of the adulteries, turned to unusual lusts.

Silius, sive fatali insania an ipsa pericula remedium imminentium periculorum ratus, abrumpi dissimulationem urgebat:

Sillius, whether because of his fateful folly or thinking that the very dangers were a cure for the imminent dangers, pressed for the concealment to be cast aside:

quippe non exspectandum, dum princeps senesceret.

certainly, they should not wait for the emperor to grow old.
