Damon. Traitor! to whom? to thee?—O Syracuse,

Is this thy registered doom? To have no meaning

For the proud names of liberty and virtue,

But as some regal braggart sets it down

In his vocabulary? And the sense,

The broad, bright sense that Nature hath assigned them

In her infallible volume, interdicted

Forever from thy knowledge; or if seen,

And known, and put in use, denounced as treasonable,

And treated thus?—No, Dionysius, no!
