Et ut a Graecis aliquid, Alcibiades ille, cuius nescio utrum bona an vitia patriae perniciosiora fuerint'illis enim cives suos decepit, his adflixit', cum adhuc puer ad Periclen avunculum suum venisset, eumque secreto tristem sedentem vidisset, interrogavit quid ita tantam in vultu confusionem gereret.
To take something from the Greeks: the famous Alcibiades, of whom I know not whether his good qualities or his bad did more harm to his country (for he deceived his countrymen with the one and ruined them with the other), was still a boy when he came one day to his uncle Pericles and saw him sitting in solitary gloom. He asked why he looked so troubled.
