“When one with honeyed words but evil mind
Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.”

@Fionnbharr

The quote is interesting to me because many centuries later honeyed blandishments is a phrase adorning the Decameron

It is a delightful read by the way, meant to be counter to the divine comedy.
