Our altercation had not thus far served to arouse any of

fetid stink of leather or the threats of hearts of mud. He has the

right to say, "I am the first ever dared to go straight for that beast

with the sharp teeth and the terrible eyes that flashed lambent fire

like those of Cynna, surrounded by a hundred lewd flatterers, who

spittle-licked him to his heart's content; it had a voice like a

roaring torrent, the stench of a seal, the unwashed balls of a Lamia

and the arse of a camel. I did not recoil in horror at the sight of

such a monster, but fought him relentlessly to win your deliverance
