   • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.8:

     Recognōsce tandem mēcum noctem illam superiōrem; iam intellegēs multō mē vigilāre ācrius ad salūtem quam tē ad perniciem reī pūblicae.

     Recall at last with me that previous night; now you will understand that I watch much more keenly for the preservation of the republic than you [do] for its destruction.
