Leader of the Chorus
But we
[815]
could name many amongst you who do quite as much, and who are, even more than ourselves, gluttons, parasites, cheats and kidnappers of slaves.
[820]
We know how to keep our property better than you. We still have our cylinders, our beams, our baskets and our sunshades;
[825]
whereas many among you have lost the wood of your spears as well as the iron, and many others have cast away their bucklers on the battlefield.
