Es mag vielleicht Manchem scheinen, daß das Beispiel der römischen Kaiser diesem widerspreche, da doch mehrere, die vortrefflich regiert und vorzügliche Kraft des Geistes gezeigt hatten, durch Verschwörungen den Thron oder gar das Leben verloren haben.
It may appear, perhaps, to some who have examined the lives and deaths of the Roman emperors that many of them would be an example contrary to my opinion, seeing that some of them lived nobly and showed great qualities of soul, nevertheless they have lost their empire or have been killed by subjects who have conspired against them.
