[8]
Do you see that, while you pretend to have
paid the dowry, you are shown not to have paid it in any way whatsoever? For
that line of conduct is sincere and free from guile, which remains throughout
such as it was at the first, but you are proven to have followed the contrary
course, so as to fulfil your service as an underling to my detriment.
