Text

Fine non fieri posse, in eadem ciuitate tribunus plebis, & patres esse: aut hunc ordinem, aut illum magistratum tollendum esse, postiusque serò, quàm numquam obuiam eundem audacia temeritatique: [...]

Translation

There is no end to be expected here. In a state tribunes and fathers cannot exist. Either you have to let go of this office or that position; and, better late than never, face impudence and rashness.
