Metellum, demigrasti; quem tu videlicet et ad custodiendum diligentissimum et ad suspicandum sagacissimum et ad vindicandum fortissimum fore putasti. Sed quam longe 15 videtur a carcere atque a vinculis abesse debere, qui 20 se ipse iam dignum custodia iudicarit! Quae cum ita 20 sint, Catilina, dubitas, si emori aequo animo non potes, abire in aliquas terras et vitam istam multis suppliciis iustis debitisque ereptam fugae solitudinique mandare? 'Refer,' inquis, 'ad senatum'; id enim postulas et, si hic ordo placere decreverit te ire in exilium, optemperaturum te esse dicis. Non referam, id quod abhorret a meis moribus, et tamen faciam, ut intellegas, quid hi de te sentiant. Egredere ex urbe, 25 Catilina, libera rem publicam metu, in exilium, si § 20. 16. cf. § 10. 1, Quae cum ita sint, 'under these circum ing,' etc., or (b) when the adverbs indicate (1) general relations of space, e.g., prope, procul; or (2) stances,' a favorite formula of general relations of quality, e.g., Cicero. Explain the mood of sint ut, sic, ita, aliter, contra; or (3) a and use of the relative. For ita certain state of mind or body, e.g., cf. tuto, § 19. 8, b. (2). bene, male, commode, recte, tuto. 11. virum optumum, how used? Cf. viri fortes, § 2. 16; M. Metellum, nothing more is known of him than can be gathered from this passage. What? 12. videlicet, compounded of videre licet 'one may see,' 'evidently.' The sentence is ironical. 15. carcere. The Romans did not use the prison as a place of penal confinement, but for merely temporary detention, or as a place of execution. 17, 18. emori, by the hand of an executioner or a suicide. abire, for the mood, see on § 17. 20. 21. hic ordo, 'this body,' i. e., the senate. placere, 'that its pleasure is' the subject is te...ire. decreverit (decerno), what mood and tense in O. R.? How is that tense to be translated? See on § 5. 25. 22. Non referam, his real reason was that the senate, not being a judicial body, had no power to impose a sentence upon any one; hanc vocem expectas, proficiscere. Quid est, Catilina? ecquid attendis, ecquid animadvertis horum silentium? Patiuntur, tacent. Quid expectas auctoritatem loquentium, quorum voluntatem tacitorum perspicis? 29 At si hoc idem huic adulescenti optimo, P. Sestio, si 21 fortissimo viro, M. Marcello, dixissem, iam mihi consuli hoc ipso in templo iure optimo senatus vim et manus intulisset. De te autem, Catilina, cum. quiescunt, probant, cum patiuntur, decernunt, cum tacent, clamant, neque hi solum, quorum tibi auctoritas est 35 videlicet cara, vita vilissima, sed etiam illi equites Romani, honestissimi atque optimi viri, ceterique fortissimi cives, qui circumstant senatum, quorum tu et frequentiam videre et studia perspicere et voces paulo ante exaudire potuisti. Quorum ego 40 vix abs te iam diu manus ac tela contineo, eos a fact that Cicero ignored to his consul of 51, a bitter foe of Caesar, cost a little later. 26. hanc vocem, 'this word,' i. e., exilium. After proficiscere, Cicero pauses for a moment; as no one gives any sign of disapproval he proceeds Quid est etc. 27. ecquid case? cf. id. § 10. 30; nihil, § 1. 3. 28. auctoritatem loquentium cf. vocis contumeliam §16. 7. § 21. 30. optimo, how different in sense from optumum, 1. 11?

Quamquam quid loquor? te ut ulla res frangat, tu ut umquam te corrigas, tu ut ullam fugam meditere, tu ut ullum exilium cogites?

Cicero speaks ironically here, for Catilina's escort would be of a different character.

After urging Catilina to leave the city because his life in it could not be pleasant (§ 13), and because the country wished him gone (§ 17), Cicero now suggests that by going Catilina would bring unpopularity upon him, the consul, and thus gratify his animosity. 3, 4.
