Hermes

How about fruition, then? When they are rich, and have put the mask on themselves, they are still deluded; if any one tries to take it off, they would sooner part with their heads than with it; and it is not likely they do not know by that time that the beautyis adventitious, now that they have aninside view.

Plutus

There too I have powerful allies.

Hermes

Namely—?

Plutus

When a man makes my acquaintance, and opens the door to let me in, there enter unseen by my side Arrogance, Folly,

v.1.p.42
Vainglory, Effeminacy, Insolence, Deceit, and a goodly company more. These possess his soul; he begins to admire mean things, pursues what he should abhor, reveres me amid my bodyguard of the insinuating vices which I have begotten, and would consent to anything sooner than part with me.
