Would it not have been better for all the world, in regard to the honor of his wife, that Mercury, who had taken her from him, should be punished, than that Argus should be covered with shame, because his vigilance had been deceived?
"Romanian
"N-ar fi fost oare mai bine pentru toată lumea, în ce privește cinstea nevestei, să fie pedepsit Mercur, cel care i-a răpit-o, decât să fie acoperit de rușine Argus, fiindcă i-a fost înșelată vigilența?"
