Then he has a line about how everyone wants this guy Cesar Borgia to be unhealthy and psychologically tormented, but he could have been a "tropical monster". Finally, he says that the noble man desires for enemies that are worthy of himself, while the modern (or in his genealogy "Christian") tendency is to try to lower your enemies so you can defeat them.
