In truth, from tempers such as thine, no stablishing of any law could grow, --if we are to oust the rightful winners, and bring the rearguard to the van! Nay, this must be foiled! tis not the stout nor the broad-shouldered that are the surest fighters--but they that are wise and wary do alway prevail. For all his broad flanks, the ox is kept straight to the track by a little goad! And for thee too I descry a cure of that kind drawing nigh and quickly, unless thou acquire some discretion: thou--whose hero lives no longer but hath become a shadow--thou art bold and insolent and all too free of utterance! Wilt not be submissive wilt not remember what thy birth makes thee, and bring hither some one else, a free man, instead of thyself, to plead thy cause to us For no further can I understand thy words--since I comprehend not the jargon of a slave. 2 c Chor. Ah, that both of you would will forbearance! better thing than that, for you both, have I none to say. 2eSTEUc.
