First Sentence
"The first without compunction violates his wife, his serving-women, and his attendants, whether young (paedagogia, capillati) or old (exoleti); the second, no longer having the power to give orders outside, in the wider society, no longer has the strength to give them at all: of necessity, he invents for himself a conjugal and sexual morality."
