1. Orci habet Galeam.
Esp. Las necedades del rico, por sentencias passan en el mundo
He has the helmet of Pluto, was used to be said of persons, who by base and insidious arts, incited others to acts of villany, without themselves appearing to be concerned in them. Those who wore the helmet of Pluto were said to be invisible, but to see every thing about them; whence the adage. The ring of Gyges was fabled to have a similar power of making those who wore it invisible. Probably nothing more is meant by these stories, than that rich men have great privileges, few persons being bold enough to scrutinize into their actions, or to censure their errors. Las necedades del rico, por sentencias passan en el mundo, even the foolish sayings of the rich are esteemed as oracles.
