1.54

Dulness is attributed to the modest man, hypocrisy to the lover of vows, fraud to the pure, / cruelty to the hero, stupidity to the sage, servility to the sweet-spoken, / arrogance to the spirited, talkativeness to the eloquent, weakness to the steadfast; / what virtue then can belong to the virtuous that is not branded by the wicked?
