Product description
"... there was a little old man in that company who alone could fill any yearbook: he was trapped by the lust of a goat, or of a creature even more lustful and smelly than a goat. Either he was afraid of mice or ghosts, but he dared not sleep alone; nothing was more mournful and miserable to him than celibacy. Every day he celebrated a new wedding, with alternating embraces as an eternal bridegroom, although his mouth was already empty, and he himself was in the fullness of old age: he was long past seventy years of age, and hardly he had seven teeth left. Among his innumerable servants who hunted girls, there was one who was no less lascivious than his master, who set his nets and traps in every street and in every house, especially among the poor... With a long promise he ensnared a poor little virgin, or rather and he persuaded her to please her lord, who, though a man of high rank and of great wealth, was not exactly lovable for her beauty and age. The girl agrees and, like the Psyche of Lucius Apuleius, who is to be honored by a happy wedding, she enters the bedroom of the unknown man."
