6. m" yap pdvov--e? 'lreMeiv el'n'e'iv: this sentence clearly
implies that there are advantages even in unpremeditated
speeches, as well as in those that are carefully prepared before-
hand. Demosthenes apparently intends his audience to suppose
that he is himself ready to trust to that inspiration which the
good fortune of Athens often supplies, rather than to any
elaborate reparation. In fact, however, he was generally
most unwilling to speak on the spur of the moment (Plut.
