Can I call you countrymen, who have revolted from your country?
or soldiers, who have rejected the command and authority of your general, and violated the solemn obligation of your oath?
Can I call you enemies?
I recognise the persons, faces, dress, and mien of fellow countrymen; but I perceive the actions, expressions, intentions, and feelings of enemies.

For what have you wished and hoped for, but what the Ilergetians and Lacetanians did.

Yet they followed Mandonius and Indibilis, men of royal rank, who were the leaders of their mad project; you conferred the auspices and command upon the Umbrian, Atrius, and the Calenian, Albius.

Deny, soldiers, that you were all concerned in this measure, or that you approved of it when taken.

I shall willingly believe, when you disclaim it, that it was the folly and madness of a few.
