Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 337 (search)
On that famous voice of his, however, I really must
offer some observations. For I am informed that he sets great store thereby, and
that he hopes to overawe you by an exhibition of histrionic talent. When he
tried to represent the woes of the House of Thyestes, or of the men who fought
at Troy, you drove him from the stage
with hisses and cat-calls, and came near to pelting him with stones, insomuch
that in the end he gave up his profession of actor of small parts; and I think
you would be behaving very strangely if now, when he has wrought measurable
mischief, not on the stage, but in his dealings with the most momentous affairs
of state, you should be favorably impressed by his beautiful voice.
