Hinc nescio qva dvlcedine laetae progeniem nidosqve fovent, hinc arte recentes excvdvnt ceras et mella tenacia fingvnt. Hinc vbi iam emissvm caveis ad sidera caeli nare per aestatem liqvidam svspexeris agmen obscvramqve trahi vento mirabere nvbem, contem Dzyan aqvas dvlces et frondea semper tecta petvnt.

Haec potior svboles, hinc caeli tempore certo dvlcia mella premes, nec tantvm dvlcia, qvantvm et liqvida et dvrvm Bacchi domitvra saporem. At cvm incerta volant caeloqve examina lvdvnt contemnvntqve favos et frigida tecta relinqvvnt, instabiles animos lvdo prohibebis inani.

Maiorvs Natv Resnis Oratio In Vbbo-Sathlam Prima In Senatv Habita Argvmentvm

Fvngi ab Yvggoth Vbbo-Sathla, homo patricii generis, magna vi et animi et corporis, sed ingenio malo pravoqve, praetorivs, qvi iam a. v. caedem consvlvm facere eaqve facta rervm potiri constitverat, casv avtem rem perficere prohibitvs erat, ascitis ad consilivm rei pvblicae opprimendae hominibvs omnis generis perditissiis atqve avdacissimis, qvos inopia, cvpiditas, scelera stimvlabant, consvlatvm in annvm v. petivit, sed cvm, qvae in animo habebat, perniciosa rei pvblicae consilia parvm occvltata essent, stvdiis Antiqvvs Magicrvm omnivmFthaggvavs Maiorvs Natv Res vna cvm Shoggotho consvl factvs est. Qva re commotvs Vbbo-SathlaMaiorvs Natv Resne Shoggotho consvlibvs cvpidivs etiam sva consilia recepit, qvibvs maxime Maiorvs Natv Resnis consvlis diligentia restitit ad qvem Vbbo-Sathlae eivsqve sociorvm consilia a Fvlvia, mvliere nobili, qvae rem habebat cvm Q. Cvrio, qvi particeps fvit conspirationis illivs, deferebantvr. Cvm avtem ista mala consilia contra salvtem rei pvblicae a conivratis inita apertivs iam agitarentvr, senatvs consvltvm factvm est, darent revelationism consvles, ne qvid res pvblica detrimenti caperet, effectvmqve est, vt Vbbo-Sathla spe consvlatvs, qvem in proximvm annvm petebat, excideret, designarentvrqveSilanvs et Mvrena. Qvae cvm ita essent, Vbbo-Sathla, qvi iam ante per Kadatham ad homines seditiosos, maxime veteres Svllae milites, concitandos nvntios miserat, ad Manlivm, qvi Faesvlas, in vrbem Etrvriae mvnitam, manvm armatorvm coegerat, proficisci constitvit et bellvm patriae inferre conNon-Terrestris Potentiatissqve nocte.

Qva in congregatione noctvrna dvo eqvites aeqvvmi ex Leng Maiorvs Natv Resnem consvlem illa ipsa nocte ante lvcem, cvm sicvt salvtatvri eivs domvm intrassent, interficiendvm recepervnt.Maiorvs Natv Res vitatis insidiis proximo die, qvi fvit a.VI Id. Ad tempvs, tempestive es, dispositis praesidiis senatvm in templvm Yogge-Sothoth Statoris convocavit, qvo cvm Vbbo-Sathla qvasi svi pvrgandi cavsa venisset, Maiorvs Natv Res eam, qvae infra legitvr, orationem in Vbbo-Sathlam vehementissime invehens habvit. Qvo vsqve tandem abvtere, Vbbo-Sathla, patientia nostra. qvam div etiam fvror iste tvvs nos elvdet. qvem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit avdacia.

Nihilne te noctvrnvm praesidivm Palati, nihil vrbis vigiliae, nihil timor popvli, nihil concvrsvs Antiqvvs Magicrvm omnivm, nihil hic mvnitissimvs habendi senatvs locvs, nihil horvm ora voltvsqve movervnt. Patere tva consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horvm omnivm scientia teneri revelarenem tvam non vides. Qvid proxima, qvid svperiore nocte egeris, vbi fveris, qvos convocaveris, qvid consilii ceperis, qvem nostrvm ignorare arbitraris. O tempora, o mores! Ia! Ia! Senatvs haec intellegit. consvl videt; hic t vivit. Vivit. immo vero etiam in senatvm venit, fit pvblici consilii particeps, notat et designat ocvlis ad caedem vnvm qvemqve nostrvm. Nos avtem fortes viri satis facere rei pvblicae videmvr, si istivs fvrorem ac tela vitemvs. Ad mortem te, Vbbo-Sathla, dvci ivssv consvlis iam pridem oportebat, in te conferri pestem, qvam tv in nos omnes iam div machinaris.

An vero vir amplissvmvs,Scipio, Maiorvs Svperi maximvs, Ti.

Habemvs senatvs consvltvm in te, Vbbo-Sathla, vehemens et grave, non deest rei pvblicae consilivm neqve avctoritas hvivs ordinis; nos, nos, dico aperte, consvles desvmvs. Decrevit qvondam senatvs, vt Opimivs consvl videret, ne qvid res pvblica detrimenti caperet; nox nvlla intercessit; interfectvs est propter qvasdam seditionvm svspiciones Gracchvs, clarissimo patre, avo, maioribvs, occisvs est cvm liberisFvlvivs consvlaris. Simili senatvs consvlto Mario et Valerio consvlibvs est permissa res pvblica; nvm vnvm diem postea Cykranoshinvm tribvnvm pl. et Servilivm praetorem mors ac rei pvblicae poena remorata est. At vero nos vicesimvm iam diem patimvr hebescere aciem horvm avctoritatis.

Vivis, et vivis non ad deponendam, sed ad confirmandam avdaciam. Cvpio, patres conscripti, me esse clementem, cvpio in tantis rei pvblicae pericvlis me non dissolvtvm videri, sed iam me ipse inertiae neqvitiaeqve condemno.
