because_o we_o have_v frame_v our_o government_n like_v to_o a_o army_n well_o order_v willing_a to_o obey_v the_o commander_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v represent_v that_o who_o imitation_n have_v

and_o that_o in_o former_a time_n we_o just_o will_v have_v command_v over_o other_o and_o thus_o stand_v the_o matter_n i_o have_v make_v this_o speech_n not_o as_o that_o we_o shall_v instant_o do_v

about_o messena_n such_o as_o they_o require_v nor_o will_v i_o so_o fervent_o exhort_v you_o to_o war_n if_o i_o find_v not_o that_o this_o course_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v to_o be_v the_o

for_o if_o we_o shall_v dwell_v near_o this_o city_n enlarge_v and_o repair_v who_o discern_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v ever_o be_v end_v of_o our_o day_n in_o tumult_n and_o danger_n these_o

then_o when_o our_o enemy_n impose_v unreasonable_a condition_n upon_o we_o not_o then_o when_o they_o will_v catch_v we_o out_o of_o our_o country_n and_o make_v free_a our_o bondslave_n and_o

what_o be_v evident_a it_o will_v be_v more_o tolerable_a that_o our_o enemy_n shall_v destroy_v we_o then_o deride_v us._n for_o they_o who_o have_v live_v in_o such_o reputation_n of_o courage_n and_o worth_a as_o we_o have_v do_v must_v choose_v one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o to_o be_v eminent_a among_o the_o grecian_n or_o else_o to_o die_v every_o mother_n child_n of_o we_o without_o

the_o preservation_n of_o themselves_o but_o it_o be_v not_o decent_a for_o the_o lacedaemonian_n to_o stoop_v to_o all_o kind_n of_o mean_n but_o if_o they_o can_v save_v their_o life_n with_o
