Gargantua and Pantagruel
Book V.

CHAPTER 5
8/9

Dixi; I have done.
Panurge then held his peace.

Pantagruel would have had him to have gone on to the end of the chapter; but Aedituus said, A word to the wise is enough; I can pick out the meaning of that fable, and know who is that ass, and who the horse; but you are a bashful youth, I perceive.

Well, know that there's nothing for you here; scatter no words.

Yet, returned Panurge, I saw but even now a pretty kind of a cooing abbess-kite as white as a dove, and her I had rather ride than lead.

May I never stir if she is not a dainty bit, and very well worth a sin or two.
