Question: Need help with Latin translation...?
Amicus: Quo mdo, Laeli, mortem tui cari amici Scipionis accepisti?
Laelius: Sine, amice, dolore. Quid is qui vitam bonam egit de morte timet? In caelo Scipio malum non habebit. Sed quid de eius vita dicam: de pietate in matrem, liberalitate in sorores, bonitate in servos? Scipio erat vir bonus et fortis qui patriam amabant. Qui imperator antiquus omnes has virtutes habebat?
Amicus: Vera dicis, Laeli. Sed hunc bonum quis malus interfecit?
Laelius: Is quem lex et pax non delectant, vir inimicus patriae, Carbo.
Amicus: Quam bonus vir interfectus est!

Once, Cicero and Quintus Mucius, the Roman judge, were sitting in a garden. Mucius was telling Cicero many things about Gaius Laelius, a famous Roman man, and about words -- the words which Laelius had used with his friends about the virtue of Scipio.
Friend: Laelius, how did you take the death of your dear friend Scipio?
Laelius: My friend, without pain. What does a man who has lived a good life fear about death? In heaven Scipio will have not trouble. But what will I say about his life: about his dutifulness to his mother, his generosity towards his sisters and his kindness to his slaves? Scipio was a good and strong man who loved his country. Which ancient emperor had all these qualities?
Friend: What you say is true, Laelius. But which evil man killed this good man?
Laelius: The man whom law and peace do not love, a man that is an enemy to his country: Carbo.
Friend: What a good man was killed!
