Note 32 — Chapter I · MARRIAGE
George Herbert Ely translation
[The Yorick of French literature: see Victor Hugo’s Le Roi s’amuse. When Panurge has vainly sought advice from everyone else on the momentous question, ‘to marry or not to marry?’ he tries Triboulet, who sends him to consult the oracle of the Divine Bottle (Rabelais, Gargantua, Book III.). Triboulet was court jester to Louis XII. and Francis I.]
