The jealous poison, lodged within the heart,
Tortures with twofold pang whom it infects;
By his own griefs oppressed, the envious man
Groans also to behold another's joy.
δύσφρων γὰρ ἰὸς καρδίαν προσήμενος
ἄχθος διπλοίζει τῷ πεπαμένῳ νόσον·
τοῖς τ᾿ αὐτὸς αὐτοῦ πήμασιν βαρύνεται,
καὶ τὸν θυραῖον ὄλβον εἰσορῶν στένει.
ἄχθος διπλοίζει τῷ πεπαμένῳ νόσον·
τοῖς τ᾿ αὐτὸς αὐτοῦ πήμασιν βαρύνεται,
καὶ τὸν θυραῖον ὄλβον εἰσορῶν στένει.
