uxorem, Postume, ducis? dic qua Tisiphone, quibus exagitere colubris. ferre potes dominam salvis tot restibus ullam, cum pateant altae caligantesque fenestrae, cum tibi vicinum se praebeat Aemilius pons? aut si de multis nullus placet exitus, illud nonne putas melius, quod tecum pusio dormit, pusio, qui noctu non litigat, exigit a te nulla iacens illic munuscula, nec queritur quod et lateri parcas nec quantum iussit anheles.

“You’re getting married, Postumus? Tell me what Tisiphone, what snakes are tormenting you. Can you bear any mistress with so many ropes in good condition, when dizzyingly high windows stand open, when the Aemilian bridge offers itself to you nearby? On the other hand, if you don’t like any of these ways out, don’t you think it would be better that a young boy sleeps with you? A young boy who won’t quarrel at night, won’t demand small favors from you while lying there, and won’t complain that you are neither giving it your all nor panting as much as he orders.”
Juvenal (c.55 - 127 AD) Satire 6.28-37
