has stolen three consecrated half-obols would shrink from
boy masturbatin committing. Sometimes, however, the worse act boy masturbatin is reckoned not in
this way but boy masturbatin by the greater harm boy masturbatin that it does. Or it may be boy masturbatin because no
punishment for it is severe enough to be adequate; or the harm done
may be incurable-a difficult and even hopeless crime to defend; or the
sufferer may not be able to get his boy masturbatin injurer legally punished, a fact
that makes the harm incurable, since boy masturbatin legal punishment boy masturbatin and chastisement
are the proper cure. Or again, boy masturbatin the man who has suffered wrong may have
inflicted some fearful punishment boy masturbatin on himself; then the doer of the
boy masturbatin wrong ought in justice to receive boy masturbatin a still more fearful punishment.
Thus Sophocles, when pleading for boy masturbatin retribution to Euctemon, who had cut
his own throat
because of the outrage done to him, said he would not
fix a penalty less than the victim had fixed for himself. Again, a
man's crime is worse if he has been the boy masturbatin first man, or the only man, or
almost the only man, to commit it: or if it is by no means the first
time he has gone seriously wrong in the same way: boy masturbatin or if his crime
has led to the thinking-out and invention of measures to prevent and
punish similar crimes-thus in boy masturbatin Argos a penalty is inflicted on a man on
whose account a
law is passed, and also on those on whose account
the prison was built: or if a crime is boy masturbatin specially brutal, or
specially deliberate: or if the report of it awakes more terror than
pity. There are also such rhetorically effective ways of putting it as
the following: That the accused has disregarded and broken boy masturbatin not one but
many solemn obligations like oaths, promises, pledges, or rights of
intermarriage between states-here the crime is worse because it
boy masturbatin consists of many crimes; and that the crime was boy masturbatin committed in the
very place where criminals are punished, as for example perjurers
do-it is argued that a man who will commit a crime in a law-court
would boy masturbatin commit it anywhere. Further, the worse deed is that which
involves the
