Hercules uses the following language.
In my barbarian days I spoke the truth, wronged not my neighbour paid back benefits with gratitude to boot. Dealt justly, held a friend to be a gift, precious as stars dropped down from heaven, bowed before the works of God. And worshipped heaven at the mountains foot. But I am wiser now more civilized. I know the way to lie, to cheat, deceive, and be a zealous Christian.
