 3  Gorg|      and orator are in the same case; although you admire rhetoric
 4  Gorg|        very probably, as in the case which he described to Polus,
 5  Gorg|        to the beasts?—in either case there would be no difficulty
 6  Gorg|     arts do the same, as in the case of the painter, a question
 7  Gorg|      inference?~GORGIAS: In the case supposed:—yes.~SOCRATES:
 8  Gorg|    indeed. But then consider my case:—shall not I be very hardly
 9  Gorg|      you mean?~POLUS: In either case is he not equally to be
