16. The Gratitude of the Wicked

Mil­vius, laque­īs irretī­tus, mūs­cu­lum exōrāvit: “Mē līberā his plagīs.” Quod mūs­cu­lus facile fēc­it. Mil­vius, līberā­tus, mūrem dēvorāvit. Quam grā­ti­am mali prō ben­efi­ciīs red­dere solent!

Diminu­tive from mūs.

Ren­der this.

quam grā­ti­am: what a return the wicked are wont to make for kindnesses!
