[6]
I know to whom Apulia has been allotted, who has Etruria, who the Picenian territory, who the
Gallic district, who has begged for himself the office of spreading fire and sword by night
through the city. They know that all the plans of the preceding night are brought to me. I
laid them before the senate yesterday. Catiline himself was alarmed, and fled. Why do these
men wait? Verily, they are greatly mistaken if they think that former lenity of mine will
last forever.
