In Catilinam (Evidence and Confession) - Cicero

Sit denique scriptum in fronte unius cuiusque quid de re publicā sentiat; nam rem publicam laboribus consiliisque meis ex igne atque ferro ereptam esse videtis. Haec iam exponam breviter ut scire possitis et quanta et quā ratione investigata et comprehensa sint. Semper providi quo modo in tantis insidiis salvi esse possemus. Omnes dies consumpsi ut viderem quid coniurati agerent. Denique litteras intercipere potui quae ad Catilinam a Lentulo aliisque coniuratis missae erant. Tum, coniuratis comprehensis et senatu convocato, ostendi litteras Lentulo et quaesivi cognosceretne signum. Dixit se cognoscere; sed primo dubitavit et negavit se de his rebus responsurum esse. Mox autem ostendit quanta esset vis conscientiae; nam repente mollitus est atque omnem rem narravit. Tum ceteri coniurati sic furtim inter se aspiciebant ut non ab aliis indicari sed indicare se ipsi viderentur. • investigo, -are, -avi, -atum - to investigate• insidae, -arum, f. pl. - plot, treachery • salvus, -a, -um - safe• coniuratus, -i, m. - conspirator • signum, -i, n. - here = seal (of a letter)• repente, adv. - suddenly • mollio, mollire, mollivi, mollitum - to soften• furtim, adv. - stealthily, secretly • indico, -are, -avi, -atum - to accuse


Finally, it should be written on the forehead of each one what he feels about the republic; for you see that the republic has been snatched by my labors and plans from fire and iron. I will explain these things now briefly so that you are able to know both by how much and by what reasoning they were investigated and captured. I always foresaw how we are able to be safe in such great treachery. I spent every day so that I saw what the conspirators were doing. Finally, I was able to intercept letters which had been sent to Catiline from Lentulus and other conspirators. Then, with the conspirators having been apprehended and with the senate having been assembled, I showed the letters to Lentulus and I asked him does he recognize the sign. He said that he recognized it; but at first he hesitated and denied that he would respond about these things. Soon however I showed how much power of common knowledge there was; for suddenly he softened and he told the whole matter. Then the rest of the conspirators secretly were looking around themselves in such a way that they themselves were not seeming to be accused by the others but to accuse themselves.

Pro Cluentio (Nervousness of Even a Great Orator) - Cicero

Ego dehinc ut responderem surrexi. Quā sollicitudine animi surgebam - di immortales - et quo timore! Semper quidem magno cum metu incipio dicere. Quotienscumque dico, mihi videor in iudicium venire non solum ingenii sed etiam virtutis atque officii. Tum vero ita sum perturbatus ut omnia timerem. Denique me collegi et sic pugnavi, sic omni ratione contendi ut nemo me neglexisse illam causam putaret. • sollicitudo, sollicitudinis, f. - anxiety• quotienscumque, adv. - whenever • iudicium, -i, n. - trial• non solum…sed etiam = not only…but also• ingenium, -i, n. - nature, innate talent• perturbo, -are, -avi, -atum - to disturb, confuse


From here I rose to respond. With what anxiety I was rising – immortal gods- and with what fear! Indeed I always begin to speak with great fear. Whenever I speak, I seem to myself to come into trial not only of character but also of virtue and duty. Then truly I am so confused that I fear everything. At last I collected myself and I fought in such a way I struggled with every reasoning in such a way that no one thought that I had neglected to that case.
