[26]
All the same, if someone does propose it and wins
your assent, so be it; offer no resistance, sacrifice everything. But if no one
approves of this, and if on the contrary we all of us foresee that the more we
allow him to extend his power, the stronger and more formidable we shall find
him in war, what escape is open to us, or why do we delay? When, men of
Athens, shall we consent to do
our duty?
