One more thing I have to say before I sit down. You will soon
be leaving this court-house, and you will be watched by the bystanders, both
aliens and citizens; they will scan each one as he appears, and detect by their
looks those who have voted for acquittal. What will you have to say for
yourselves, Athenians, if you emerge after betraying the laws? With what
expression, with what look will you return their gaze?
