Chapter CXI: To the Same
Text size
Aufiléna! to live content with only one husband,
Praise is and truest of praise ever bestowed upon wife.
Yet were it liefer to lie any wise with any for lover,
Than to be breeder of boys uncle as cousins begat.
Aufilena, to be content to live with single mate, in married dame is praise of praises most excelling: but 'tis preferable to lie beneath any lover thou mayest choose, rather than to make thyself mother to thy cousins out of thy uncle.
CXII.
Multus homo es Naso, neque tecum multus homost qui
Descendit: Naso, multus es et pathicus.
