And
now, Aeschines, I beg you to examine in contrast, quietly and without acrimony,
the incidents of our respective careers: and then ask the jury, man by man,
whether they would choose for themselves your fortune or mine. You were an
usher, I a pupil; you were an acolyte, I a candidate; you were
clerk-at-the-table, I addressed the House; you were a player, I a spectator; you
were cat-called, I hissed; you have ever served our enemies, I have served my
country.
