Gentlemen, I have one request. If I prove that my opponents mother murdered our father by malice aforethought, after being caught not merely once, but repeatedly, in the act of seeking his life,[*] then first avenge the outrage against your laws, that heritage from the gods and your forefathers which enables you to sentence the guilty even as they did; and secondly avenge the dead man, and in so doing give me, a lonely orphan, your aid.
