Have I not, then, a right to be fond of women,

And to regard them all with tender love,

For is it not a sweet and noble thing

To be treated just as you are; and to have

One's feet anointed by fair delicate hands?

And in his Thoricians he says—

He bathes completely—but what is't he does?

He bathes his hands and feet, and well anoints them

With perfume from a gold and ample ewer.

And with a purple dye he smears his jaws
