IVLI BASSI. Liberata republica quod me tristem uidistis, nolite mirari: nobis etiamnunc uiuit tyrannus. Virginitatem quam sub tyranno seruauerat, perdidit sub patre. Dic, furcifer, cui sororem meam uirginem seruasti ? dic, si placet, “mihi.” Non uitiauit, inquit, cum liceret illi. Itane nuptiis dignus est quia indignus est cruce ? ex cella sua in dominae migrabit cubiculum, uel domina ex cubiculo suo migrabit in cellam? CORNELI HISPANI.
