"Tiberivs, Legatvs Cotta has no blame in this. I fully take the blame for allowing agents to delay me and my army, so though your critique is just, it should be aimed at me, not him: and I take it, for I know I deserve it. My fullest apology to Blasio, and the whole Senate, for failing to stop this misfortune. Rest assured though that this problem has been taken care of: the spies have all been cought, and they were prudently punished for their crimes.
However, I am quite confused and disgusted by the rest of your speech. I am not against an invasion of Greece: in fact, I think I have made it quite clear here that I for a very long time have wanted one! While I accept blame for that which I am responsible of, I will not have you badmouth me for something I do not stand for! Your rhetoric is shameful, and far below that which should be the standard in these halls. Juno's cunt! Have you no honour? Show some respect! Your actions here is a disgrace for this great Senate you so unworthily call yourself a part of!" As he said that, a lot of clamour began, and loud agreements was heard from many a senator.
