[42] praesertim, iudices, cum honoris amplissimi contentio et dies comitiorum subesset, quo quidem tempore—scio enim quam timida sit ambitio quantaque et quam sollicita sit cupiditas consulatus —omnia non modo quae reprehendi palam sed etiam quae obscure¹ cogitari possunt timemus, rumorem, fabulam falsam, fictam, levem² perhorrescimus, ora omnium atque oculos intuemur. nihil est enim³ tam molle, tam tenerum, tam aut fragile aut flexibile quam voluntas erga nos sensusque civium, qui non modo improbitati irascuntur candidatorum sed etiam in recte factis saepe fastidiunt.
