quibus pro tantis
rebus, Quirites1, nullum ego a vobis praemium virtutis, nullum
insigne honoris, nullum monumentum laudis postulabo2
praeterquam huius diei memoriam3 sempiternam. in animis
ego vestris omnis triumphos meos, omnia ornamenta honoris,
monumenta gloriae, laudis insignia condi et conlocari
volo. nihil me mutum potest delectare, nihil tacitum, nihil
denique eius modi quod etiam minus digni adsequi possint4.
memoria vestra, Quirites, nostrae res5 alentur, sermonibus
crescent, litterarum monumentis inveterascent et conroborabuntur;
eandemque diem intellego, quam spero aeternam
fore, propagatam esse et ad salutem urbis et ad memoriam
consulatus mei6, unoque tempore in hac re publica duos
civis exstitisse quorum alter finis vestri imperi non terrae
sed caeli regionibus terminaret, alter huius7 imperi domicilium
sedisque servaret.
