What man soe'er, in troubles waxing wroth,
Applies a charm that goes beyond the ill,
Is no physician skilled to deal with grief.
ὅστις γὰρ ἐν κακοῖσι θυμωθεὶς βροτῶν
μεῖζον προσάπτει τῆς νόσου τὸ φάρμακον,
ἰατρός ἐστιν οὐ ἐπιστήμων κακῶν.
μεῖζον προσάπτει τῆς νόσου τὸ φάρμακον,
ἰατρός ἐστιν οὐ ἐπιστήμων κακῶν.
