Protagora is being impatient. He made an agreement that could never even occur. He should learn from his own idiocy for not thinking his logic through.
It means exactly that he should never be paid until the conditions of the agreement are met (those being that the student wins his first case). If this never occurs... then he should never be paid. It only stands to reason that the only way Protagoras can be paid is if the student wins his first case.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
