Démades, A greate Oratour in Athens, whiche in sodaine Drations without any studie excelled Demusthenes: in somuch (as Plutarch writeth) when Demosthenes was constrained to speake to the people vnprouided, beeing timerous, sometime stayed in the middle of his Oration, Demades woulde arise out of his place and finish that Oration which Demosthenes had begunne. He was of so corrupe maners, that Antipater was wont to saye of him, when he was olde and decrepite, hee was like to beastes offered in sacrifice, of whome rentained but their tougues and bellies. Finally, the ende of his auarice, prodigalitie, flattery, and falshode was this: comming vnder coulout of friendshippe into Macedonie, where in deede hee had secreately conspired with Antigonus, euimie to Antipater King of that Countrey, hee and his sonne were taken by Cassander (chiefe capitaine of Antipaters armie) and firste hys son Demea was slaine in his atmes, that the bloud sprang into hys face, and then himselfe (after many reproches, touchyng hys treason and vnkindenesse) was cruelly killed.
