For Csesar himself, after baring complained of the moroseness of Marcellns, for so he called it, and praised in the strongest terms the equity and prudence of your conduct, presently declared, beyond all our hopes, that whatever offence he had received from the ...man, he could refuse nothing to the intercession of the senate. What the senate did was this : upon the mention of Marcellus by Piso, his brother Caios having thrown himself at Cinar's feet, they all rose np and went forward in a supplicating manner towards Csesar : in short, this day*s work appeared to me so decent, that I could not help fancying that I saw the image of the old republic reviving : when all, therefore, who were askeid their opinions before me, had returned thanks to Csesar, excepting Volcatius (for he declared that he would not have done it, though he had been in Marcelloa's place), I, as soon as I was called upon, changed my mind, for I had resolved with myself to observe an eternal silence, not through any laxiness, but the loss of my former dignity ; but Csesar's greatness of mind, and the laudable zeal of the senate, got the better of my resolution.
