These being the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero:

When I was a young man, I defended our state. As an old man, I shall not abandon it. I give sincere thanks to Mark Antony, who has presented me with the most promising theme imaginable. I address you directly, Antony:

Please listen, as if you were sober and intelligent, and not a drink-sodden, sex-addled wreck.
You are certainly not without accomplishments; it is a rare man who can boast of becoming a bankrupt before even coming of age.

You have brought upon us war, pestilence, and destruction.

You are Rome's Helen of Troy.

But then, a woman's role has always suited you best.
