The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness...This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs when he first appears he is a protector.

    la homoj ĉiam havas iun ĉampionon, kiun ili starigas super ili kaj nutras sin en grandecon ... ĉi tiu kaj neniu alia estas la radiko, el kiu tirano fontas, kiam li unue aperas, ke li estas protektanto.

    el pueblo siempre tiene algún campeón al que ponen sobre él y lo cuidan en la grandeza ... ésta y ninguna otra es la raíz de la que brota un tirano cuando aparece por primera vez como protector.

    folket har alltid en mester som de setter over dem og pleier til storhet ... denne og ingen andre er roten som en tyrann kommer fra når han først dukker opp han er en beskytter.
