(Thou beholdest, whoe’er thou art, around the plaster of our walls lines teeming with not too chastened a wit.)
also in Martial, bk. XII. Epigr. 62. we read:
Qui carbone rudi, putrique creta
Scribit carmina, quae legunt cacantes.
(Who with rough charcoal or crumbly chalk writes verses that men read as they shit.)
[10] Clement of Alexandria, Paedag. bk. II. ch. 10. ὅσοι δὲ τὴν παραβολὴν διώκουσι, πταίουσι περὶ τὸ κατὰ φύσιν, σφᾶς αὐτοὺς βλάπτοντες, κατὰ τὰς παρανόμους συνουσίας.
(“Now they that follow the parable sin aginst nature, hurting their own selves, according to their lawless conversation.”)
