Poem 174: Cicero versificatus

quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?
quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet?
quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia?


How long, asshole, to you intend
to abuse our patience?

How long must your insanity offend
and embarrass us?

Where will it stop? To what putrescent end
will you not rejoice
to see the nation brought?

With the SPQR, surely,
rotting under the Roman sun.
