You know that
such is our behavior. What alarms me is the thought, not that Philip is alive,
but that in Athens the spirit that
loathes and punishes evil-doers is dead. Philip does not terrify me, if only
your condition is healthy; but if there is to be impunity in this court for men
who hunger after Philip's pay, and if men who have won your confidence, men who
have hitherto scorned the imputation of intriguing for Philip, are to appear as
their advocates, that does terrify me.—
