Sed vereor, ne longe nimium nos ducat
haec via. nam si est signum adulterae lavari cum
viris, erit et convivere cum adolescentibus, deinde
etiam familiariter alicuius amicitia uti; fortasse
corpus vulsum, fractum incessum, vestem muliebrem
dixerit mollis et parum viri signa, si cui (cum signum
id proprie sit, quod ex eo, de quo quaeritur, natum
sub oculos venit) ut sanguis e caede, ita illa ex impudicitia fluere videantur.
