944. Grievous punishments of revenge
Those who have adopted a spirit of revenge for reasons that appear good, such as that it would be princely, and dignified, also having taken it to be just, are grievously punished so that they may realize what meanness and filth it is.
944. THE GRIEVOUS PUNISHMENTS OF REVENGE
Those who have conceived a revengeful animus from plausible reasons, as, for instance, that it would be king-like and becoming to one's dignity, or that they conceived it to be just, are severely punished in order that they may perceive its sordid and filthy quality.
944. Vindictae punitiones gravissimae
Qui vindictae animum conceperunt ex causis speciosis, sicut quod id foret regium, et dignitati conveniens 1
, tum quod conceperint id esse justum, ii puniuntur graviter ut percipiant, qualis est sordes et foeditas.
