Book V. by Francois Rabelais]@TWC D-Link book Book V. 3/4 They tell us that there are such in your world, and that some of them have goodly garters below the knee with an inscription about them which condemns him (qui mal y pense) who shall think ill of it to be berayed and conskited. Others are said to wear the devil in a string before their paunches; and others a ram's skin. All that's true enough, good Master Aedituus, quoth Panurge; but we have not the honour to be acquainted with their knightships. Eat, replied Aedituus, and drink bravely, old boy; twist like plough-jobbers and swill like tinkers. |
