Ti. Gracchus anguibus domi suae mare ac femina deprehensis, certior factus ab aruspice mare dimisso uxori eius, femina ipsi celerem obitum instare, salutarem coniugi potius quam sibi partem augurii secutus marem necari, feminam dimitti iussit sustinuitque in conspectu suo se ipsum interitu serpentis occidi. itaque Corneliam nescio utrum feliciorem dixerim, quod talem uirum habuerit, an miseriorem, quod amiserit. o te, Thessaliae rex Admete, crudelis et duri facti crimine sub magno iudice damnatum, qui coniugis tuae fata pro tuis permutari passus es, eaque, ne tu extinguerere, uoluntario obitu consumpta lucem intueri potuisti, et certe parentum prius indulgentiam temptaueras!
