Ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἐθρήνουν ἡσυχῆ, κλάειν δὲ οὐκ ἠδυνάμην: τοῦτο γὰρ ἴδιον τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐν τοῖς μεγάλοις κακοῖς. Ἐν μὲν γὰρ ταῖς μετρίαις συμφοραῖς ἀφθόνως τὰ δάκρυα καταρρεῖ καὶ ἔστι τοῖς πάσχουσιν εἰς τοὺς κολάζοντας ἱκετηρία καὶ τοὺς ἀλγοῦντας ὥσπερ οἰδοῦντος τραύματος ἐκένωσεν: ἐν δὲ τοῖς ὑπερβάλλουσι δεινοῖς φεύγει τὰ δάκρυα καὶ προδίδωσι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς.
