 2 1 |        he’ll never speak a word. For since the day when he took
 3 1 |          to heaven and in return for such good news nobody believed
 4 3 |          couldn’t find a way out for it. Then Mercury, who had
 5 3 |       who had always had a fancy for his character, led aside
 6 3 |      against him and the nation? For once let the prophets tell
 7 3 |       and nobody knows his hour; for nobody ever made any account
 8 3 |        few that are left outside—for he had made up his mind
 9 3 |         send him off unattended. For it isn’t right that one
10 3 |          a sudden be left alone. For a while he will be satisfied
11 4 |     Gayly they filled her hands, for sweet was the duty allotted.~

13 4 |     herself, too, had a fondness for the handsomest of men, wrought
14 4 |     years from her own store. As for Claudius, however, everybody
15 5 |         superfluous to describe. For you know very well, and
16 5 |  threatening something or other, for he kept shaking his head;
17 5 |       thus spoke, as was easiest for a Greek chap: ~ Who and
18 5 |        there would be some place for his histories. So he, too,
19 6 |          who have lived with him for so many years—he was born
20 6 |      captured Rome. Take my word for it, he was born at Lugudunum,
21 6 | Lugudunum, where Licinus reigned for many years. But you, who
22 6 |           that was steady enough for the one purpose of decapitating
23 7 |          no one had been a match for him at Rome, here he didn’

27 9 |         elected afternoon consul for the first of July, being
28 9 |   therefore I do not report him, for fear of misquoting what
29 9 |     mortals in wisdom, and it is for the public interest that
30 9 |          to be winning the vote. For Hercules, who saw that his
31 10|      Augustus arose at the point for expressing his opinion,
32 10|          all the greater. Was it for this that I secured peace
33 10|   secured peace on land and sea? For this did I make an end of
34 10|       make an end of civil wars? For this did I found the city

37 11|         now, who has been ruling for so many years. One person’

43 14|     granted. Pedo Pompeius spoke for the prosecution with loud
44 14|        loud shouts. The attorney for the defense wanted to begin
45 14|          an appropriate sentence for him. Various ones said that
46 14|    Claudius should sometime hope for the same in his turn. It
