I'm sure there are more poetic translations out there. It's line 81f.

Oh, and from the Loeb page (and now from this post as well) you can copy the Greek to incorporate in your text, to save you the trouble of piecing it all together character by character:

ἀλλ᾿ ἡδὺ γάρ τι κτῆμα τῆς νίκης λαβεῖν,
τόλμα· δίκαιοι δ᾿ αὖθις ἐκφανούμεθα.

Thanks for your help. I have put this text in the ebook as a jpg image.
