What do you think ought to be the feelings of those who
 pay us tribute, or of those who get it in, and exact it, when two kings with very numerous
 armies are all but on the spot? when one inroad of cavalry may in a very short time carry off
 the revenue of a whole year? when the publicans think that they retain the large households of
 slaves which they have in the salt-works, in the fields, in the harbours, and custom-houses, at
 the greatest risk? Do you think that you can enjoy these advantages unless you preserve those
 men who are productive to you, free not only, as I said before, from calamity, but even from the
 dread of calamity?
