AD PAULAM Moechus erat: poteras tamen hoc tu, Paula, negare.      Ecce vir est: numquid, Paula, negare potes? A PAOLA Era il tuo drudo, ma allora potevi dir, Paola, che no.      Ecco è il tuo sposo: Paola, dirai ancora che no? TO PAULA He was your lover; yet this, Paula, you once could deny.      Behold, he is your husband; can you deny it now? 给保拉 以前他是你的情夫，但是保拉你可以说他不是。      现在他是你的丈夫：保拉你能说他不是吗？
