[206]
Whom would you call
the most detestable person in all Athens, and the most swollen with impudence and
superciliousness? No one, I am sure, would name, even by a slip of the tongue,
anyone but Philocrates. Who is the most vehement speaker, the man who can
express himself most emphatically with the aid of his big voice? Undoubtedly
Aeschines. Whom do these men call timid and faint-hearted, or, as I should say,
diffident, in addressing a crowd? Me; for I never worried you; I have never
tried to dragoon you against your inclinations.
