But should Helvetius have expected any other treatment from a man soiled with all sorts of infamy, a man who for fun makes his friend swear off his religion, who appropriates the assets of his partners, who has no faith, law, or feeling, who runs after fortune per fas et nefas, who measures his days by the acts of villainy he commits, and who has even lampooned himself on stage as one of the most dangerous rascals--a piece of impudence I believe we've not seen in the past and won't see in the future? No. So it's not Palissot but Helvetius who's in the wrong.

All that is written in the tacit agreement. Too bad for the man who doesn't know that or who forgets it. MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR HIS BAD HEALTH AS WELL AS FOR HIS FOOD AND CLOTHING BUT SHOULD HALVIUS HAVE EXPECTED ANY OTHER TREATMENT FROM A MAN SOILED WITH ALL SORTS OF INFAMY A MAN WHO FOR FUN MAKES HIS FRIENDS SWEAR OFF HIS RELIGION WHO APPROPRIATES THE ASSETS OF HIS PARTNERS WHO HAS NO FAITH LAW OR FEELING WHO RUNS AFTER FORTUNE PARF FAUGH ENOUGH WHO MEASURES HIS DAYS BY THE ACT OF VILLAINY HE COMMITS AND WHO HAS EVEN LAMPOONED HIMSELF ON STAGE AS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS RASCALS A PIECE OF IMPUDENCE I BELIEVE WE'VE NOT SEEN IN THE PAST AND WON'T SEE IN THE FUTURE NO SO IT'S NOT PALLISSON BUT HALVIUS WHO'S IN THE WRONG IF ONE TAKES A YOUNG MAN FROM THE PROVINCES TO THE ZOO AT VERSAILLES AND HIS FOOLISHNESS PERSUADES HIM TO STICK HIS HAND THROUGH THE BARS OR THE TIGER'S OR THE PANTHER'S CAGE AND IF THE YOUNG MAN LEAVES HIS ARM BEHIND IN THE THROAT OF THE FEROCIOUS ANIMAL WHO'S IN THE WRONG ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN A TACIT AGREEMENT TOO BAD FOR THE MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT OR WHO FORGETS IT
