So in Tibullus, or whoever is the author of the<br />
Iamoics to Priapus—<br />
Et in quietus inguina arrigat tumor,<br />
Neque incitare apt, ulque dum mibi<br />
Venus joco/L. molle ruperit latus.<br />
Unruly tumour, panting for delight,<br />
Ere& their nerve, and flimulate the fight,<br />
Nor ceafe to glow, till Venus often tried<br />
In mirthful pleafure firft my languid fide<br />
Petronius, in his fatire, mentions the convulfions of<br />
the fide. "I am afraid," lays he, "I fhould have<br />
" raifed convulfions in my fide." In other places, the<br />
fides are faid to be weak, worn out, enervated, drained,<br />
languid, wearied ; which phrafe amounts to be ex-<br />
haufted by venery. Ovid, in the tenth elegy of the<br />
third book-<br />

Invalidum referens, emeritumque latus.
