    PRO M. MARCELLO ORATIO

    I. diuturni+ silenti*+, patres conscripti, quo eram his temporibus usus, non timore aliquo, sed partim dolore, partim verecundia*, finem+ hodiernus+ dies+ attulit+, idemque initium quae vellem* quaeque sentirem meo pristino more dicendi. tantam* enim mansuetudinem*, tam inusitatam inauditamque clementiam, tantum in summa potestate rerum omnium* modum, tam denique incredibilem sapientiam ac paene divinam tacitus praeterire nullo modo possum. [2] M. enim Marcello vobis, patres conscripti, reique publicae reddito non illius solum sed etiam meam vocem et auctoritatem vobis et rei publicae conservatam ac restitutam puto. dolebam enim, patres conscripti, et vehementer angebar, cum viderem virum talem, cum in eadem causa* in qua ego fuisset, non in eadem esse fortuna, nec mihi persuadere poteram nec fas esse ducebam versari me* in nostro vetere curriculo illo aemulo atque imitatore studiorum ac laborum meorum quasi quodam socio a me et comite distracto. ergo et mihi meae pristinae vitae consuetudinem, C. Caesar, interclusam aperuisti et his omnibus* ad bene de re publica sperandum quasi signum aliquod sustulisti. [3] intellectum est enim mihi quidem in multis et maxime in me ipso*, sed paulo ante* omnibus, cum M. Marcellum senatui reique publicae concessisti, commemoratis praesertim offensionibus, te auctoritatem huius ordinis dignitatemque rei publicae tuis vel doloribus vel suspicionibus* anteferre. ille* quidem fructum omnis ante actae vitae hodierno die maximum cepit, cum summo consensu senatus tum iudicio tuo gravissimo et maximo. ex quo profecto intellegis quanta in dato beneficio sit laus, cum in accepto sit tanta gloria. [4] est vero fortunatus cuius ex salute non minor paene ad omnis quam ad illum ventura sit laetitia pervenerit: quod quidem merito atque optimo iure contigit. quis enim est illo aut nobilitate aut probitate aut optimarum artium studio aut innocentia aut ullo in laudis genere praestantior?
