For the King, suspending his designs—if he really intends
to invade Greece—will distribute money among them and tempt them with

plunge our country.
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by C. A. Vince, M. A. and J. H. Vince, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
