Source text - French Si l' on en veut être convaincu, l' on n' a qu' à considerer la surprise, la colere et le desespoir d' un homme à qui on a manqué de reconnoissance, ses chagrins secrets et ses plaintes publiques contre celuy qui en a ingratement usé envers lui ; avec quelles noires couleurs il peint son ingratitude, comment il déchire sa reputation, et crie contre luy de même que contre un homme qui l' a volé : car si dans le bien qu' il a fait, il n' a cherché que le plaisir de bien-faire, n' a-t' il pas eu ce plaisir ?
Et s' il n' a pretendu tirer aucun avantage de ses bien-faits, pourquoy se fâche-t' il de ce qu' ils ne luy raportent rien ? Il doit donc onfesser que son desespoir vient précisementde ce qu' il voit ses esperances rompées, et qu' il n' a pas recueilli le fruit qu' il s' étoit pro-mis ; à moins qu' il ne soit assez simple pour croire qu' il hait l' ingratitude par elle même, et qu' il est si touché de la beauté de la vertu, qu' il ne peut souffrir la laideur du vice.
Translation - English If one needs to be convinced of this, one only has to consider the surprise, the anger and the despair of a man to whom gratitude has not been paid, his private sorrows and his public outpourings against the man who has thanklessly used him; with such dark colours does he paint his ingratitude, destroys his reputation, and loudly protests at him as he would against a man who has robbed him: for if in the good that he has done, did he not only seek the pleasure of doing good, did he not gain pleasure from this?
And if he did not expect any gain from his gestures of good-will, why is he angered that he has gained nothing from them? Hence, he must confess that his real despair comes from seeing his hopes betrayed,and that he has not reaped the rewards he had promised himself ; unless he is so simple as to believe that he hates ingratitude itself, and that he is so touched by the beauty of virtue that he cannot bear the ugliness of vice.
