Envy
Envy was
painted by the ancients in a garment of a discoloured green colour, full of
eyes, and glaring, of a livid complexion, a hideous frightful form, her face,
full of wrinkles, adders on her head instead of hair; holding in one hand 3
serpents, and in the other an hydra with seven heads, and another serpent
gnawing her bosom.
