felix Admeti coniunx et lectus Ulixis, et quaecumque viri femina limen amat! templa Pudicitiae quid opus statuisse puellis, si cuivis nuptae quidlibet esse licet? quae manus obscenas depinxit prima tabellas et posuit casta turpia visa domo, illa puellarum ingenuos corrupit ocellos nequitiaeque suae noluit esse rudis.
Happy the wife of Admetus, happy the partner of Ulysses bed, and every woman such as respects her husbands threshold! What is the use of girls founding a temple of Chastity, if any bride can behave exactly as she pleases? It was the artist who first painted lewd panels and set up indecent pictures in a virtuous house, who corrupted the innocent eyes of girls, refusing to leave them ignorant of his own depravity.
