121. Gregory of Tours (1. viii. c. 30, in tom. ii. p.
325-326) relates, with much indifference, the crimes, the
reproof, and the apology. Nullus Regem metuit, nullus Ducem,
nullus Comitem reveretur; et si fortassis alicui ista
displicent, et ea, pro longaevitate vitae vestrae, emendare
conatur, statim seditio in populo, statim tumultus exoritur,
et in tantum unusquisque contra seniorem, saeva intentione
grassatur, ut vix se credat evadere, si tandem silere
nequiverit.
