Adulator et Invidus

Here is today's distich by John Owen, with an English translation by Thomas Harvey, 3.188. This epigram plays on the archetypal carping critic, Zoilus, the Cynic philosopher (cf. Owen's epigram Ad Zoilum), and the archetypal flatterer and parasite, Gnatho, from Terence's Eunuch. The epigram contends that while they act differently - one using harsh words, and the other sweet words - they are both motivated by the same emotion: jealousy. (Note that the name Zoilus in the first line needs to scan as a spondee.)

Adulator et Invidus
Zoilus et Gnatho non re, sed nomine, distant.
Virtutem ille bonis invidet, iste malis.

THE FLATTER AND THE CARPER
These differ not in Nature but in Name,
This Good, that Bad maligneth: Both to blame.
