The intrepid calmness of Valentinian obtained silence,<br />

and he thus addressed the assembly: "A few moments<br />

since it was in your power, fellow-soldiers, to have left<br />

me in the obscurity of a private station. Judging from<br />

the testimony of my past life that I deserved to reign,<br />

you have placed me on the throne. [t is now my duty<br />

to consult the safety and interest of the republic. The<br />

weight of the universe is undoubtedly too great for the<br />

hands :)f a feeble mortal. I am conscious of the limits<br />

of my abilities and the ullcertainty of my life; and far<br />

from declining, I am anxious to solicit the assistance of<br />

a worthy colleague. But where discord may be fatal, the<br />

choice of a faithful friend requires mature and serious<br />

deliberation. That deliberation shall be my care. Let<br />

your conduct be dutifnl and consistent."<br />
