He, one day sitting with some friends of his

In a leather-cutter's shop, began to talk

About Gnathænium to divert their leisure,

Narrating all their fond love passages.

But after this, when Andronicus came

From Corinth back again, and heard the news,

He bitterly reproach'd her, and at supper

He said, with just complaint, unto Gnathænium,

That she had never granted him such liberties

As this flogg'd slave had had allow'd to him.
