trajan_n die_v before_o he_o be_v declare_v one_o that_o have_v thrice_o be_v consul_n when_o you_o refuse_v your_o three_o consulship_n a_o heavy_a task_n our_o vote_n will_v have_v impose_v upon_o your_o modesty_n that_o you_o the_o prince_n shall_v be_v as_o often_o consul_n as_o your_o senator_n the_o refusal_n whereof_o will_v have_v argue_v too_o much_o bashfulness_n even_o when_o you_o be_v a_o private_a man_n the_o son_n of_o a_o consular_a and_o a_o triumphant_a father_n when_o he_o a_o three_o time_n be_v create_v consul_n do_v he_o ascend_v be_v it_o not_o his_o due_a yea_o though_o he_o can_v plead_v no_o other_o merit_n but_o the_o nobility_n of_o his_o birth_n private_a person_n therefore_o have_v the_o honour_n to_o open_v the_o january_n the_o the_o roman_n date_v their_o record_n and_o deed_n from_o consulship_n as_o we_o do_v from_o king_n reign_n and_o the_o consul_n begin_v with_o the_o year_n in_o january_n year_n and_o to_o unlock_v the_o fasti_fw-la the_o the_o roman_a calendar_n begin_v with_o the_o consul_n name_n proceed_v with_o the_o festival_n &_o court_n day_n which_o proper_o be_v the_o fasti_fw-la calendar_n and_o this_o likewise_o be_v a_o instance_n of_o liberty_n restore_v that_o another_o be_v consul_n and_o not_o caesar_n thus_o the_o tyrant_n be_v expel_v the_o free_a year_n begin_v thus_o heretofore_o servitude_n shake_v off_o our_o calendar_n be_v inscribe_v with_o the_o name_n of_o private_a man_n miserable_a they_o be_v in_o their_o ambition_n that_o continue_v their_o consulshippe_n like_o their_o principality_n yet_o seem_v it_o not_o to_o be_v more_o their_o ambition_n than_o their_o envy_n and_o malignity_n to_o engross_v to_o themselves_o all_o year_n and_o not_o to_o put_v off_o that_o supreme_a ornament_n of_o the_o purple_a but_o when_o it_o be_v wear_v and_o soil_v like_o their_o old_a robe_n but_o in_o you_o which_o shall_v i_o first_o admire_v magnanimity_n or_o modesty_n or_o bounty_n it_o be_v magnanimity_n to_o abstain_v from_o a_o honour_n so_o much_o affect_v by_o prince_n modesty_n to_o wave_v it_o bounty_n to_o enjoy_v it_o by_o other_o but_o now_o it_o be_v time_n that_o you_o do_v a_o favour_n to_o the_o consulship_n itself_o that_o by_o undertake_v to_o manage_v it_o you_o may_v make_v it_o great_a for_o still_o to_o refuse_v will_v bear_v a_o ambiguous_a interpretation_n and_o rather_o signify_v that_o you_o think_v it_o too_o mean_a it_o be_v true_a you_o refuse_v it_o as_o the_o great_a but_o none_o will_v be_v so_o persuade_v unless_o sometime_o you_o will_v likewise_o not_o refuse_v it_o when_o you_o excuse_v yourself_o from_o triumphal_a arch_n from_o trophy_n from_o statue_n we_o may_v pardon_v your_o modesty_n for_o indeed_o those_o be_v dedicate_v to_o yourself_o but_o we_o now_o make_v it_o our_o suit_n that_o you_o will_v teach_v future_a prince_n to_o renounce_v idleness_n a_o while_n to_o adjourn_v their_o pleasure_n awhile_o at_o least_o for_o a_o little_a while_n to_o awake_v out_o of_o their_o slumber_n of_o felicity_n to_o put_v on_o our_o pretext_v purple_a which_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v bestow_v they_o have_v invade_v and_o to_o ascend_v the_o sella_n curulis_fw-la the_o chariot_n tribunal_n which_o it_o be_v fit_a they_o shall_v possess_v last_o to_o be_v indeed_o what_o they_o have_v covet_v to_o seem_v not_o to_o desire_v the_o name_n of_o consul_n only_o for_o the_o name_n you_o have_v discharge_v a_o second_o consulshippe_n i_o know_v it_o but_o that_o you_o may_v allege_v as_o a_o favour_n to_o our_o army_n to_o our_o province_n to_o foreign_a nation_n not_o to_o we_o we_o have_v hear_v indeed_o you_o have_v do_v all_o that_o concern_v the_o office_n of_o a_o consul_n but_o we_o have_v hear_v it_o be_v report_v you_o be_v most_o just_a most_o gracious_a most_o patient_a but_o it_o be_v report_v it_o be_v fit_a that_o sometime_o we_o shall_v credit_v our_o own_o judgement_n our_o own_o eye_n not_o always_o fame_n and_o rumour_n how_o long_o absent_a from_o one_o another_o shall_v we_o joy_v in_o you_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o make_v trial_n whether_o that_o second_o consulshippe_n have_v put_v no_o pride_n into_o you_o half_n a_o year_n have_v much_o influence_n upon_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n much_o more_o of_o prince_n indeed_o we_o say_v he_o that_o have_v one_o virtue_n have_v all_o yet_o we_o desire_v a_o proof_n whether_o once_o again_o a_o good_a consul_n and_o a_o good_a prince_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o beside_o the_o difficulty_n of_o mannage_a two_n and_o both_o of_o they_o sovereign_a power_n there_o be_v likewise_o diversity_n in_o the_o power_n themselves_o for_o that_o may_v become_v a_o prince_n which_o a_o consul_n must_v not_o do_v but_o i_o see_v the_o chief_a reason_n that_o move_v you_o next_o year_n to_o refuse_v the_o consulshippe_n be_v that_o you_o can_v not_o discharge_v it_o in_o your_o absence_n but_o now_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o city_n and_o our_o public_a wish_n wherein_o can_v you_o clearly_o show_v we_o what_o and_o how_o great_a the_o blessing_n be_v that_o we_o desire_v it_o be_v little_a favour_n to_o come_v into_o the_o senate_n unless_o you_o please_v to_o assemble_v it_o to_o be_v present_a unless_o precedent_n to_o hear_v we_o pass_v our_o vote_n unless_o you_o will_v give_v sentence_n will_v you_o as_o our_o consul_n in_o time_n restore_v to_o its_o majesty_n that_o dread_a tribunal_n ascend_v will_v you_o have_v awefulnesse_n in_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n in_o the_o law_n and_o modesty_n in_o the_o petulant_a sit_v in_o person_n in_o the_o senate_n for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o will_v have_v concern_v our_o republic_n if_o you_o be_v a_o private_a man_n not_o to_o have_v you_o only_o our_o consul_n unless_o you_o likewise_o be_v a_o senator_n so_o much_o it_o concern_v yourself_o not_o to_o be_v only_o our_o prince_n unless_o you_o likewise_o be_v our_o consul_n with_o these_o so_o many_o and_o prevalent_a reason_n though_o our_o prince_n modesty_n long_o struggle_v yet_o at_o last_o it_o yield_v but_o how_o not_o to_o equal_v himself_o with_o private_a man_n but_o to_o make_v private_a man_n his_o equal_n for_o he_o a_o three_o time_n receive_v the_o consulship_n that_o he_o may_v a_o three_o time_n give_v it_o for_o he_o know_v man_n moderation_n he_o know_v their_o bashfulness_n that_o will_v not_o endure_v a_o three_o time_n to_o be_v consul_n unless_o a_o three_o time_n he_o be_v consul_n with_o they_o ancient_o this_o honour_n be_v bestow_v and_o that_o spare_o upon_o adjutant_n to_o general_n and_o partner_n in_o their_o danger_n m_o danger_n vide_fw-la sis_fw-la m_o which_o you_o have_v give_v to_o two_o particular_a man_n that_o indeed_o have_v serve_v you_o faithful_o and_o valiant_o but_o in_o the_o gown_n both_o their_o care_n both_o their_o industrye_n have_v lay_v a_o obligation_n caesar_n upon_o you_o but_o in_o a_o prince_n it_o be_v rare_a and_o seldom_o hear_v of_o to_o think_v himself_o oblige_v or_o think_v so_o to_o love_v you_o therefore_o caesar_n owe_v and_o pay_v but_o when_o a_o three_o time_n you_o make_v consul_n you_o think_v not_o in_o so_o do_v that_o you_o be_v a_o great_a prince_n but_o that_o you_o be_v not_o a_o ingrateful_a friend_n nay_o even_o the_o low_a deserve_n of_o your_o subject_n you_o raise_v high_o by_o the_o supremacy_n of_o your_o fortune_n for_o you_o make_v every_o one_o thought_n to_o have_v do_v you_o service_n according_a to_o the_o greatness_n of_o your_o retribution_n what_o prayer_n shall_v i_o make_v for_o such_o benignity_n but_o that_o you_o may_v ever_o oblige_v ever_o be_v oblige_v and_o leave_v it_o doubtful_a whether_o it_o be_v more_o expedient_a for_o your_o subject_n to_o be_v your_o debtor_n or_o to_o have_v you_o they_o true_o methinks_v i_o see_v that_o ancient_a senate_n when_o one_o thrice_o consul_n sit_v one_o a_o three_o time_n design_v consul_n stand_v to_o desire_v suffrage_n as_o great_a as_o they_o be_v then_o so_o great_a be_v you_o it_o happen_v indeed_o that_o body_n though_o vast_a and_o high_a approach_v high_a body_n than_o themselves_o decrease_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o great_a subject_n dignity_n compare_v with_o your_o greatness_n lose_v their_o height_n and_o the_o near_o they_o ascend_v to_o your_o elevation_n the_o more_o they_o seem_v to_o descend_v from_o their_o own_o yet_o those_o which_o though_o you_o will_v you_o can_v not_o raise_v to_o your_o own_o height_n you_o have_v yet_o place_v so_o conspicuous_o as_o they_o appear_v as_o much_o above_o other_o as_o below_z you_o if_o a_o three_o time_n you_o have_v make_v one_o consul_n in_o the_o same_o year_n with_o yourself_o it_o have_v argue_v a_o great_a soul_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o declaration_n of_o felicity_n to_o have_v as_o
