Your course, however, must be your own care: I will
pledge myself to mine. I defended the Commonweath in
my youth: I will not abandon it in my age. Nay, I am
ready to sacrifice my life, if by my death the liberty of
the State can be secured now and here,-80 that at last
the pangs of the Roman people may bring forth that -with
which they so long have been in travail. If, twenty
years ago, I said in this very temple that death could
never come before its time to a man who had been consul,
with how much more truth can I say this now of a man
Who has reached old age 1
