[105] O terram illam beatam¹ quae hunc virum exceperit², hanc ingratam si eiecerit, miseram si amiserit! sed finis sit; neque enim prae lacrimis³ iam loqui possumus⁴, et hic se lacrimis defendi vetat. vos oro obtestorque, iudices, ut in sententiis ferendis⁵, quod sentietis⁶, id audeatis. vestram virtutem, iustitiam, fidem, mihi credite, is maxime comprobabit⁷ qui in iudicibus legendis optimum et sapientissimum⁸ et fortissimum quemque delegit⁹.

Commentary

Commentary on Defense of Milo (Select Orations of Cicero (Allen and Greenough's Edition). Greenough, James Bradstreet; Kittredge, George Lyman, editors. Boston, London: Ginn & Company, 1897.) focus

lacrimis defendi : this was a peculiarly Roman custom. Many a desperate case was gained in the Roman courts by putting on mourning and bringing out the wife and children of the accused in deep mourning and bathed in tears.
