counterpoise
 noun
 contrapeso
EN But a third cause, which I believe has more efficacy than either of the former, is mere levity; the simple fact of being unballasted by any sufficient weight of plan or settled purpose, to present a counterpoise to the slightest momentum this way or that, arising from any impulse of accident or personal caprice.
GL Pero unha terceira causa, que creo que ten máis eficacia que calquera das anteriores, é a simple levidade --o sinxelo feito de non estar lastrado por un peso suficiente dun plano ou propósito asentado que presente un contrapeso ó menor empuxe nun sentido ou noutro que abrolle de calquera impulso accidental ou capricho persoal--.
