L'avaricieux a plus mauvais compte de sa passion que n'a le pauvre, et le jaloux que le cocu. Et il y a moins de mal souvent à perdre sa vigne qu'à la plaider.
The miserly person has a worse account of his passion than the poor, and the jealous person than the cuckold. And there is often less harm in losing one's vineyard than in pleading for it.
