I am wonderfully pleased when I meet with any Passage in an old
Greek
or
Latin
Author, that is not blown upon, and which I have never met with in a Quotation. Of this kind is a beautiful Saying in
Theognis
;
Vice is covered by Wealth, and Virtue by Poverty
; or to give it in the Verbal Translation,
Among Men there are some who have their Vices concealed by Wealth, and others who have their Virtues concealed by Poverty.
