Where will you find a fair judge? The same man who chases after everyone's wife — who thinks another man's wife is more desirable just because she belongs to someone else — won't let anyone even look at his own wife. No one demands loyalty like a traitor does. The man who breaks his own promises gets furious when someone breaks theirs. The crooked lawyer gets most outraged when someone sues him. The man who has no self-control sexually can't stand it when someone makes a move on his slaves.
Where, however, will you find so impartial a judge? The same man who lusts after everyone's wife, and thinks that a woman's belonging to someone else is a sufficient reason for adoring her, will not allow any one else to look at his own wife. No man expects such exact fidelity as a traitor: the perjurer himself takes vengeance of him who breaks his word: the pettifogging lawyer is most indignant at an action being brought against him: the man who is reckless of his own chastity cannot endure any attempt upon that of his slaves.
