     Samlitir dano a aicneth ind formait consindiri fri aicneth teneth ar is besad in tineth is cuma loisces a mbis issa & huasa & inna erchomair immata samlaith a format is cummae fris·oirc dundi bes isliu bes huaisliu ⁊ bas cutruma combí náma da nach duiniu etir maith ⁊ saich etir cían ucus ocus.

     Now, the nature of envy, with malice, is likened to the nature of fire, because it is the way of fire that it burns indifferently what is above, below, and near it; so also envy assails indifferently those that are lower and those that are higher and those that are equal, so that it is an enemy to every man whether good, bad, near, or far.
