Chapter 25

Thallus you sodomite, softer than rabbit’s fur, or goose’s marrow, or an ear lobe, or an old man’s drooping penis, and the cobwebs there; again Thallus greedier than the driving storm, when †the ram shows them off their guard†, give me back my mantle which you have swooped down upon, and the Saetaban napkin and Thynian tablets which, idiot, you openly parade as though they were heirlooms. Now unglue these from your nails and return them, lest the stinging scourge shamefully score your downy little butt and delicate little hands, and you unaccustomedly heave and toss like a tiny boat surprised on the vast sea by a raging storm.
