Tanta quosdam dementia tenet, ut sibi contumeliam fieri putent posse a muliere. Quid refert
quam habeant, quot lecticarios habentem, quam oneratas aures, quam laxam sellam ? Aeque inprudens
animal est et, nisi scientia accessit ac multa eruditio,
ferum, cupiditatium incontinens. Quidam se a cinerario impulsos moleste ferunt et contumeliam vocant
ostiari difficultatem, nomenculatoris superbiam, cubiculari supercilium. O quantus risus inter ista
tollendus est ! quanta voluptate implendus animus ex
alienorum errorum tumultu contemplanti quietem
suam ! " Quid ergo ?
