47 Sir actor, let me recall to you a fine passage from one of your tragedies: But even at the point of death She forethought took to fall in seemly wise. Euripides, Hecuba. See Polyxena in Notes. She was but a girl; and shall Demosthenes choose an unseemly life before a seemly death, and forget what Xenocrates and Plato have said of immortality? And then he was stirred to some bitter speech upon men puffed up by fortune. What remains to tell? At last, as I now besought and now threatened, mingling the stern and mild, ‘Had I been Archias,’ he said, ‘I had yielded; but seeing that I am Demosthenes, your pardon, good sir, if my nature recoils from baseness.’
