CommentBasil the GreatPublic domainLuke 16:22–26

But he receives a meet reward, fire and the torments of hell; the parched tongue; for the tuneful lyre, wailing; for drink, the intense longing for a drop; for curious or wanton spectacles, profound darkness; for busy flattery, the undying worm. Hence it follows, That he may cool my tongue, for I am tormented in the flame.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).
