Communis tibi cum viro, Magulla,
cum sit lectulus et sit exoletus; quare, dic mihi, non sit et minister? Suspiras: ratio est; times lagenam. Your husband’s bed you share; Your husband’s boy you share; Tell me, Magulla, why His cup you’ll never try. Is there something of which you’re aware? O Magulla, essendo il tuo letto comune a te col marito, ed essendo abbandonato, perché, dimmi, non lo sia anche il servo? Tu sospiri: la ragione si è, tu temi la lagena. |
Martial, Book 12, XCI
