In the ashes of their own smoking cities the Spaniards had to learn that Father Parsons had misread his countrymen.

Shall we persuade our skins that the jerks of a whip agreeably tickle us, or our taste that a potion of aloes is vin de Graves?

By John Webster, Practitioner in Physick. Falsa etenim opiniones Hominum non solum surdos sed et coecos faciunt, ita ut videre nequeant quae aliis perspicua apparent. Galen. lib. 8, de Comp. Med.

DON PEDRO. Qué señas ni qué berenjenas ... siempre has de meterte en camisa de once varas. BRUNO. Ya las quisiera yo de tres y media. BRUNO. ¿Conque, por fin, qué le digo? DON PEDRO.
