Depuis les sottises que Rassi lui avait fait faire, et les sottises de sang ne se réparent pas, le prince avait peur quelquefois, et s’ennuyait souvent, ce qui l’avait conduit à la triste envie ; il sentait qu’il ne s’amusait guère, et devenait sombre quand il croyait voir que d’autres s’amusaient ; l’aspect du bonheur le rendait furieux.
After the foolish actions that Rassi had made him commit, and for foolishness that sheds blood there is no reparation, the Prince was sometimes afraid and was often bored, which had brought him to a state of morbid envy; he felt that he was deriving little amusement from life, and grew sombre when he saw other people amused; the sight of happiness made him furious.
