Term
54 Summary
Definition
The head of Otho is quite puny, legs of Herrius are halfwashed and muddy, delicate and light is the farting of Libo,
if not everything, I could wish that this displease you and Sufficius, that old man rejuvenated.... you will be angered again by my unoffending iambs, you one and only imperator.

57 Summary
Definition
This agrees beautifully for these submissive perverts,
subservient Mamurra and Caesar.
And it’s no wonder: stains equal to each,
that one a city [stain], the other a Formian,
have been impressed [and] will persist and will not be washed away:
equally unhealthy, both twins,
both learned men in one little couch,
this one not more the devourer than that one is an adulterer,
allied rivals for these girlies.
This agrees beautifully for these submissive perverts.
Term
29 Summary

Who can see this, who can endure it,

as a white pigeon or as Adonis?
and son-in-law of the city, have you ruined everything?
