[3]
And later, when the tyranny was
already established, he said1:“
If now you suffer grievous things because
Of your own cowardice, charge not this fate
Unto the gods' account; for you yourselves
Exalted these men's power by giving them
A guard, and on this count have you put on
The yoke of evil slavery. Each by each
With fox's steps you move, but meeting all
Together trifling judgement do you show.
For to man's tongue and shifty word you look,
But to the deed he does you ne'er give heed.
