If you acquit Leocrates, you will vote for the betrayal of the city, of its temples and
 its fleet. But if you kill him, you will be encouraging others to preserve your country
 with its revenues and its prosperity. Imagine then, Athenians, that the country and its
 trees are appealing to you, that the harbors, dockyards and walls of the city are begging
 you for protection, yes, and the temples and sanctuaries too. Bear in mind the charges
 brought and make of Leocrates a proof that with you tears and compassion have not more
 weight than the salvation of the laws and people.
