Pol. See there a peacock! Where is Q. Hortensius who held a peacock for such a delicacy?[76]
Sim. Take the lamb-meat away.
Scop. Why?
Sim. Because it is unsound. They say it does not go out by any other way than that it entered.
Crit. I have seen someone who swallowed olive stones like an ostrich.
Scop. From what meat are those pasties made?
Crit. This here is stag’s flesh.
Scop. This is deer’s flesh; and that there, I believe, is boar’s flesh.
Crit. I prefer the condiments to meat itself.
