[55]
I am not concerned at those men being so
foolish, as to hope for these things; and so impudent, as to attempt to cause them. What I do
complain of is, that I am so much despised by them, that they should select the period of my
consulship, of all times in the world, for seeking to bring about such prodigious
absurdities.
And in the sale of all these lands and houses leave is given to the decemvirs “to
hold their sales in whatever places they think fit.” Oh their perverted senses! Oh
their licentiousness, so necessary to be checked! Oh their profligate and wicked intentions!
