Excerpt from Les Préceptes de l'École de Salerne, à l'Usage du Roi d'Angleterre
Chose étrange! Une joie immodérée est aussi dange reuse qu'un violent accès de colère. Bien des personnes sont mortes de joie. C'est ce qui arriva à Sophocle, dit ou, à la nouvelle de son triomphe littéraire aux jeux olympiques. Dans ce cas le coeur vivement surexcité a suspendu ses battements, comme 3' il était saisi de spasme ou de crampe, la circulation du sang s'arrête; de la un subit évanouissement, bientôt smm de mort. Des acci dents de cette espèce ne sont pas tout-a - fait rares les feuilles publiques en rapportent de temps en temps. C'est un bonheur inespéré, un coup de fortune qui fait passer de la misère à l'opulence, c'est une mère revoyant un fils, une fille qu'elle croyait perdue; la joie tue parce qu'elle est excessive.
