APPENDIX IN the CHAPTER V

N 1. Volume of the women during the union.

All these practices and preciousness are rather of agreement than natural, as all that make the Hindus.

Bayadère misled in Paris and which would like to make use, would be a so extraordinary curiosity as it would have certainly a success of fashion to laugh.

The volume which the women of Europe have naturally, or set during the union, is very variable; the most striking three types are: those who keep silent and close eyes;

Those who make many exclamations and demonstrations;

Finally, those who, as grips of fits of hysterics, are overcome or faint.

N 2. - In Rome, the knocks between lovers were not only preciousness, although they pussent to be the taste of the beautiful, as they were it of that of the housewife of Colin, sung by Béranger, and of the girl of Jules Barbier's suburbs, who wanted a lover:

« Which ( who ? ) beats her ( it ? ) and the fouaille for the evening till morning. »

All the poets élégiaques Latin blame for having beaten and mistreated their mistresses ( teachers ? ), or are pleased to have been struck by them.

Elégie VII. Ovide, _Les the Amur, _livre I,

« My mistress ( teacher ? ) laments knocks which I gave him ( her ? ) in my frenzy. It was not enough to intimidate him ( it ? ) by my shouts, by my threats, to tear away ( to extract ? ) him ( her ? ) his ( her ? ) clothes up to the belt! I had the cruelty to drag her ( it ? ) by hair and to cross him ( her ? ) the cheeks of my nails.

« Then, shameful of my stupid inhumanity, I implored its forgiveness. Be not afraid, I said to him ( her ? ), to print your nails on my face, do not save ( spare ? ) either my eyes or my hair, that the anger helps your weak hands. »

Tibulle, deliver I, Elegy X.

« The war ignites between the lovers; the girl swamps with reproaches the cruel which pushed its door and tore away to ( extracted ? ) him ( her ? ) hair. The bruised cheeks are bathed by tears; but the winner ( conqueror ? ) cries in his turn for the fact that the arm too well served its anger.

« It is necessary to be of stone or steel to strike the beauty which we like.

« It is enough to tear the light tunic, to break the links which hold ( retain ? ) his ( her;its ? ) hair, to make flow his ( her;its ? ) tears.

« Happy the one who, in his anger, can see lamenting a girl; but the one who knocks is good only to carry ( wear ? ) the shield and the picket; that he ( it ? ) goes away from the sweet Venus. »

The games of the girls of Sparta.

The games of the girls of Sparta who had a serious purpose in the time of the independence of this Republic, were not any more, after his ( her;its ? ) subjection, than a loose spectacle which Prodrills described in the Élégie XIV of the book III.

« Heureuse Lacédémone, we admire the games where form the girls. Without shame, they seem bare in the middle of the fighters. Alternately, we see them, covered with dust, waiting for the hour of lists and receiving the hard knocks of the pancrace.

« They attach the ceste to the arms, throw ( launch ? ) the disc, either they make describe a circle to a fast delivery boy, put around of a two-edged sword the sides of alabaster and cover with a helmet the virgin head.

« Other times, hair covered with wintry weather, them anticipates on the long summits of Taygète the dog of _Laconie_. »

The law of Sparta defends ( forbids ? ) the mystery to the lovers and we can show themselves everywhere in public beside the woman who we love. We do not have to dread the vengeance of a husband, we do not use ( employ ? ) an intermediary to declare his ( her ? ) fires, and if we are pushed away ( repelled ? ), we do not have to undergo long periods ( delays ? ). The glance roaming by chance is not deceived by the purple of Tyr, or not intercepted by one numerous slaves' procession.

The description which, in his chapter XLII, Lucien gives of the loving fight between Lucius and Palestra was maybe suggested to him ( her ? ) by the games of Sparta:

« Bare and straight ( right ? ) Palestra commands ( orders ? ):

« Rub yourself of oil, kiss ( embrace ? ) your opponent, knock down him ( it ? ) of a hook in leg, hold him ( it ? ) under you, slide; a distance, that we split, squeezes ( tightens ? ) well; prepare your weapon forward; striking ( typing ? ), hurts ( damages ? ), penetrates until you are tired. Of the force in loins! Lengthen ( stretch out ? ) now your weapon, grow by there below; of the vigour; aim at the wall, strikes ( knocks ? ); as soon as you feel ( smell ? ) slackening, fast a release and an embrace; stand firm, not so much haste; a pause! Let us go! In the purpose! You here is quits.

« A pose ( installation ? ), maintaining, says Palestra, the fight with knees! And she ( it ? ) falls on the knees in the middle of the bed. You here is in the middle, beautiful fighter! Squeeze ( tighten ? ) your opponent as a knot; tilt him ( it ? ) then and sweep down on him with your sharp line ( feature ? ), seize him ( it ? ) closely and leave no interval between you. If he ( it ? ) begins to break taken, remove ( kidnap ? ) him ( it ? ) without losing a moment, hold him ( it ? ) in the air ( sight ? ), strike him ( it ? ) down and does not move back without having received the order from it; make him ( it ? ) sleep, contain him ( it ? ), again trip him ( her ? ) so that he ( it ? ) does not escape you; hold him ( it ? ), please and press your movement; release ( leave ? ) him ( it ? ), here he is brought down, he ( it ? ) is pouring with sweat. »
