Стр. 69 - Ordinis haec virtus erit et Venus, aut ego fallor, Ut jam mine dicat jam nunc debentia dici, obscurus evado.
Стр. 83 - ... in a very languid way, what it is that will relieve them most effectually or, in other words, that the shoe does not really pinch them so hard as we think it does. For when it really pinches, as when a man is being flogged, he will seek relief by any means in his power. So my great namesake said, "Surely the pleasure is as great of being cheated as to cheat...
