ABSTRACT
Both the ancient and modern sculptors have sometimes written or carved lascivious things to disport their genius, like the marble satyr in the Chigi Palace who attempts to violate a boy…. Hypocrites to the contrary, I despair of the thievish judgment and filthy habit which forbid the eyes what delights them most. What harm is there in seeing a man mount a woman? Indeed, should the beasts be freer than us?
