Cum castitatem Iuno laudaret suam, iocunditatis causa non renuit Venus, nullamque ut affirmaret esse illi parem interrogasse sic gallinam dicitur: Dic, sodes, quanto possis satiari cibo? respondit ilia Quidquid dederis, satis erit, sic ut concedas pedibus aliquid scalpere.
Concerning the lust of women When Juno was praising her own chastity (and declaring in the presence of the gods and goddesses that it was better for a woman to be joined with one man only), Venus, just for the fun of it, did not oppose her, but, by way of showing that there was no other woman like her, is said to have questioned the hen in the following manner: Tell me, please, with how much food can you be satisfied?. The hen replied: Whatever you give me will be enough, provided you allow me to scratch for odd bits with my feet.
