Elegant saying 1
 
 
  Men void of accomplishments cannot behold those who possess some,
without barking like the curs of the bazar on seeing a hunting dog,
but dare not come forward; that is to say, when a base fellow is
unable to vie with an accomplished man he sets about slandering him
according to his own wickedness.
 
 
        The envious mean fellow will certainly slander,
        Whose tongue of speech is dumb when face to face.
