Ab armis ad arma discurritur; foris victores domi trucidamur, domi nostro sanguini intestinus hostis incubat; quis non hoc populi Romani statu Ciceronem ut non vivat cogi putat?
Armis/arma: literally ‘weapons’ but can be taken as metonymy for ‘battles’
Discurritur: an impersonal form used in poetry. It suggests a general activity, i.e. ‘there is a rushing about’. However, the 1st person plural verb in the next clause implies a personal reading, i.e. ‘we rush about’
Incubat: This figurative use may derive from OLD 1c ‘to rest or be placed (upon)’, 1d ‘to brood (over) or 2a ‘to have as one’s abode or lair’
Quis…putat: Reorder as quis non putat Ciceronem cogi ut non vivat, hoc statu populi Romani.
Hoc populi Romani statu: Ablative absolute with implied present participle of esse
Ut non vivat: Result clause
