[187]
Now there is an easy phrase at the
disposal of every one who wishes to delude you: “The disturbers of the
commonwealth; the thwarters of Philip's public benefactions.” I will
not say a word in reply; I will only read to you Philip's letters, and remind
you of the several occasions of your deception, to show how “the
Benefactor” has forfeited by his beguilements that frigid and
nauseating title.“
Letters of Philip
