"John, my dinner will soon be made; for not another penny have I than three sols of Paris."
For the first offence, by the Salic law, there was a fine of fifteen sols; and should a man be taken more than once in fault, or circumstances aggravate the colour of his guilt, he might be whipped, branded, or hanged.
