text_original: The heathen poets have often sung of the envy and jealousy of heaven ; and the Emperor for a like cause could brook no rival. His young cousin no rival d iberuis must die to expiate the crime of greatness, being oncc piit upon a level with him; his falher in law, Silanus, and his grandmother, Antonia, paid the forfeit of their lives for having formed too low an estimate of his majesty. Indeed, any eminence might be dangerous near him.
