Chapter XXXVII: Section 1

[a] Petronius says, you may as well expect that the person, who is for ever shut up in a kitchen, should be sweet and fresh, as that young men, trained up in such absurd and ridiculous interludes, should improve their taste or judgement. _Qui inter hæc nutriuntur, non magis sapere possunt, quam bene olere, qui in culiná habitant._ Petronius, _in Satyrico_, s. 2.
