But why you pluck the hair from your fundament, soaked in hot water first, and polish with pumice your well-pounded Clazomenae (i. e. buttocks) the reason is obscure: unless indeed your long-suffering lust hankers for a double disease (vice),—a woman behind, in your member a strong man).

Manilius, Astronomica bk. V. vv. 140-156., says:

Taurus, in aversos praeceps cum tollitur artus,

Sexta parte sui certantes luce sorores

Pleiades ducit: quibus aspirantibus, almam

In lucem eduntur Bacchi Venerisque sequaces:
