Note 16 — BOOK VIII.
Rowland Smith translation
Here and elsewhere in the address of the worthy priest of Diana occur equivoques, which, owing, to the genius of the English language and a regard for decency are incapable of and unfit for translation. The commentators illustrate the passage referred to in this note by an epigram of Martial, iii. 80.
"De nulli quereris, nulli maledicis, Apici; Rumor ait, linguæ te tamen esse malæ."
