They would indeed blush if any one，laid this to their stoutly maintain, that both in mind and body they were capable of manly endurance, and could go throu沙a campaign in winter as well as in summer. They would tell you that they had not commissioned their tribunes to act as protectors of the effeminate and the indolent, nor was it in cool shade or under sheltering roofs that their ancestors had instituted this very tribunitian power. The valour of your soldiers, the dignity of Rome, demand that we should not limit our view to Veil not and this present war, but seek for reputation in time to come in respect of other wars and amongst all other nations. “Do you imagine that the opinion men form of us in crisis is a platter of slight importance?

But amongst the enemy there is actually so much respect for law and order that they have not been goaded into revolution either by weariness of the siege or even aversion to absolute monarchy, nor have they shown exasperation at the refusal of succours by Etruria. The man who advocates sedition will be put to death on the spot, and no one will be allowed to say the things which are uttered amongst you with impunity. With us the man who deserts his standard or abandons his post is liable to be cudgelled to death ，but those who urge the men to abandon the standards and desert from, the camp are listened to, not by one or two only;they have the whole army for an audience.
