“Tū ut illa carēre diūtius possīs — quam venerārī ad caedem proficīscēns solēbās — ā cuius altāribus saepe istam impiam dexteram ad necem cīvium trānstulistī?”
How could you be without it much longer — that which you were accustomed to venerate when setting out for slaughter — [and] from whose altars you have often transferred that wicked right hand of yours to the murder of citizens? (Refers to a symbolic aquila, the standard of a Roman military force, that Catiline had kept enshrined in his own home.)
