The Sicilian tyrants never devised a greater punishment than envy.
Even savage animals can agree among themselves.
This is his first punishment, that by the verdict of his own heart no guilty man is acquitted.
No wicked man knows happiness, and least of all the seducer of others.
Wisdom is the winner over good luck.
The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
