[14] Quid mihi gladios et ignes ostendis et turbam carnificum circa te frementem ? Tolle istam pompam, sub qua lates et stultos territas! Mors es, 1 quam nuper servus meus, quam ancilla contempsit. Quid tu rursus mihi flagella et eculeos magno apparatu explicas ? Quid singulis articulis singula machinamenta, quibus extorqueantur, aptata et mille alia [p. 174] instrumenta excarnificandi particulatim hominis ? Pone ista, quae nos obstupefaciunt. Iube conticiscere gemitus et exclamationes et vocum inter lacerationem elisarum acerbitatem ! Nempe dolor es, 2 quem podagricus ille contemnit, quem stomachicus ille in ipsis deliciis perfert, quem in puerperio puella perpetitur. Levis es, 3 si ferre possum, brevis es, 4 si ferre non possum.
