According to Machiavelli, what is the relationship between dear and hate?

In Chapter 17, Machiavelli addresses whether it is better to be loved than feared. He notes that although being loved is good, history has proven that leaders who were feared proved to be the most effective rulers. A ruler who brings disorder to his state because of his impolitic kindness should not be considered kind. For Machiavelli, it is virtuous for a prince to be feared.... not hated.
