If, Cominus, by the will of the people,
you should die in grizzled old age,
depraved by impure customs,
I for my part do not doubt that first
your tongue, having been cut out
as the enemy of good men,
would be given to a greedy vulture,
a raven would devour your gouged-out eyes
with his black throat, dogs your intestines,
and wolves the rest of your limbs.
