(From the “Antigone” of Sophocles) |
By Sophocles |
(Greek tragic poet, c.496 B.C.–406 B.C.) |
| | | NO such ill device | |
| Ever appeared, as money to mankind: | |
| This is it that sacks cities, this routs out | |
| Men from their homes, and trains and turns astray | |
| The minds of honest mortals, setting them | 5 |
| Upon base actions; this revealed to men | |
| Habits of all misdoing, and cognizance | |
| Of every work of wickedness. | | | | |
