XCVII

I did not think anything could distinguish (so may the gods love me)

Whether I was smelling the mouth or anus of Aemilius.

The former is no cleaner, the latter no dirtier,

Though actually his anus must be the cleaner and preferable –

For it does not have teeth. Indeed, his mouth has gums,

Old like a wagon box, with teeth a foot-and-a-half long.

What’s more when he smiles his mouth is like the

Open cunt of a peeing mule on heat.

He fucks many women and makes himself out to be charming.

Is he not delivered by mill-turning ass?

If any girl touches him, should we not think her capable

Of licking the arsehole of a diseased executioner?
