Note 63 — Chapter III · THE CHILDREN
George Herbert Ely translation
Quattuor sunt que mulieres summe cupiunt: A formosis amari juvenibus, Pollere filiis pluribus, Ornari preciosis vestibus, Et dominari pre ceteris in domibus. —Tractaculi sive opusculi.
[“Four things there are that women eagerly covet: to be loved by handsome youths; to be good for many sons; to be decked out in costly array; and to rule the roost.”]
