    A judge's duty is to grant justice, but his practice is to delay
    it: even those judges who know their duty adhere to the general
    practice.
    [Fr., Le devoir des juges est de rendre justice, leur metier est
    de la differer; quelques uns savent leur devoir, et font leur
    metier.]

poisoning, but is about three goats, which, I complain, have been
stolen by my neighbor. This the judge desires to have proved to
him; but you, with swelling words and extravagant gestures,
dilate on the Battle of Cannae, the Mithridatic war, and the
perjuries of the insensate Carthaginians, the Syllae, the Marii,
and the Mucii. It is time, Postumus, to say something about my
three goats.
