[96]
Let me put it in this way. Perhaps none of you has ever been
bitten by an adder or a tarantula, and I hope he never may be. All the same,
whenever you see such creatures, you promptly kill them all. In just the same
way, men of Athens, whenever you see
a false accuser, a man with the venom of a viper in his nature, do not wait for
him to bite one of you, but always let the man who comes across him exact
punishment.
