    you doubt to entrust everything to him alone, when he has been found to be the only man for many
    years whom the allies are glad to see come to their cities with an army. And if you think that
    our side of the argument, O Romans, should be confirmed by authorities, you have the authority
    of Publius Servilius, a man of the greatest skill in all wars, and in affairs of the greatest
    importance, who has performed such mighty achievements by land and sea, that, when you are
    deliberating about war, no one's authority ought to have more weight with you. You have the
    authority of Caius Curio, a man who has received great kindnesses from you, who has performed
    great exploits, who is endued with the highest abilities and wisdom; and of Cnaeus Lentulus, in
    whom all of you know there is (as, indeed, there ought to be from the ample honours which you
    have heaped upon him) the most eminent wisdom, and the greatest dignity of character; and of
    Caius Cassius, a man of extraordinary integrity, and valour, and virtue. Consider, therefore,
    whether we do not seem by the authority of these men to give a sufficient answer to the speeches
    of those men who differ from us. </p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
