Section 49
If some, widowed slut may expose her own household to the desire of all men and may establish herself openly in the life of a harlot, if she is accustomed to enjoying the parties of most unconnected men, if she does this in the city, in the pleasure garden, in that most renound place, Baiae, thus if she carries herself not only in her approach also in her dress and associations, not with desire, nor by fiery eyes, nor with diction, yet even now the embrace, with the act of kissing, at the sea-shore, on a voyage, at a supper club, should this harlot be looked upon as violent or as imprudent: She having been seen as not only as a harlot, but an imprudent harlot: if she had existed with fortitude rather than the young, no matter which this is for you, L. Herrenius. Whither the adulterer will be loved, does she seem to have been assaulting the purity or the wish for desire?
