Note 6 — CICERO AGAINST CATILINE

: verendum mihi, etc.: “I shall have to fear (i.e. I am convinced) that all patriots will regard your death as occuring too late, rather than as too severe and cruel,” or as Wilkins translates: “Certainly it is more likely that all patriots will consider this action too late, than that anyone should consider it too cruel.” Explain quisquam.
