What do sad complaints avail if the offense is not cut down by punishment.

Summary

This quote suggests that expressing sadness or complaints about an offense is meaningless if it is not followed by appropriate punishment or consequences for the offender. In other words, simply expressing discontent or sorrow without taking action or seeking justice does not effectively address or resolve the issue at hand. It implies that a true resolution requires not only acknowledging the offense but also enforcing suitable consequences to discourage future wrongdoing.
