Hecuba: Agamemnon, the tongue should never have
More influence among men than deeds. On the
Contrary, if a man has acted rightly, his words
Should have the ring of truth, while if he has
Acted badly, his words should sound a false
Note. And
injustice should never be able to
Speak well.
There are clever men who have
Mastered the subtle art but they
Cannot stay clever all the time. No, they
Come to a bad end.
Not one of them has yet
Avoided this.
