A quotation from Horace

Be this your wall of brass — no secret sin,
To pale the cheek and rack the heart within!
 
                    [Hic murus aeneus esto,
nil conscire sibi, nulla pallescere culpa.]

Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas”, l. 60ff (1.1.60-61) (20 BC) [tr. Martin (1881)]
