How the physician Rondibilis counselleth Panurge.
Panurge, continuing his discourse1, said, The first word which was spoken by him who gelded the lubberly, quaffing2 monks3 of Saussiniac, after that he had unstoned Friar Cauldaureil, was this, To the rest. In like manner, I say, To the rest. Therefore I beseech4 you, my good Master Rondibilis, should I marry or not? By the raking pace of my mule5, quoth Rondibilis, I know not what answer to make to this problem of yours.
You say that you feel in you the pricking6 stings of sensuality, by which you are stirred up to venery. I find in our faculty7 of medicine, and we have founded our opinion therein upon the deliberate resolution and final decision of the ancient Platonics, that carnal concupiscence is cooled and quelled8 five several ways.
First, By the means of wine. I shall easily believe that, quoth Friar John, for when I am well whittled9 with the juice of the grape I care for nothing else, so I may sleep. When I say, quoth Rondibilis, that wine abateth lust10, my meaning is, wine immoderately taken; for by intemperancy proceeding11 from the excessive drinking of strong liquor there is brought upon the body of such a swill-down boozer a chillness in the blood, a slackening in the sinews, a dissipation of the generative seed, a numbness12 and hebetation of the senses, with a perversive wryness13 and convulsion of the muscles — all which are great lets and impediments to the act of generation. Hence it is that Bacchus, the god of bibbers, tipplers, and drunkards, is most commonly painted beardless and clad in a woman’s habit, as a person altogether effeminate, or like a libbed eunuch. Wine, nevertheless, taken moderately, worketh quite contrary effects, as is implied by the old proverb, which saith that Venus takes cold when not accompanied with Ceres and Bacchus. This opinion is of great antiquity14, as appeareth by the testimony15 of Diodorus the Sicilian, and confirmed by Pausanias, and universally held amongst the Lampsacians, that Don Priapus was the son of Bacchus and Venus.
Secondly16, The fervency17 of lust is abated18 by certain drugs, plants, herbs, and roots, which make the taker cold, maleficiated, unfit for, and unable to perform the act of generation; as hath been often experimented in the water-lily, heraclea, agnus castus, willow-twigs, hemp-stalks, woodbine, honeysuckle, tamarisk, chaste19 tree, mandrake, bennet, keckbugloss, the skin of a hippopotam, and many other such, which, by convenient doses proportioned to the peccant humour and constitution of the patient, being duly and seasonably received within the body — what by their elementary virtues20 on the one side and peculiar21 properties on the other — do either benumb, mortify22, and beclumpse with cold the prolific23 semence, or scatter24 and disperse25 the spirits which ought to have gone along with and conducted the sperm26 to the places destined27 and appointed for its reception, or lastly, shut up, stop, and obstruct28 the ways, passages, and conduits through which the seed should have been expelled, evacuated29, and ejected. We have nevertheless of those ingredients which, being of a contrary operation, heat the blood, bend the nerves, unite the spirits, quicken the senses, strengthen the muscles, and thereby30 rouse up, provoke, excite, and enable a man to the vigorous accomplishment31 of the feat32 of amorous33 dalliance. I have no need of those, quoth Panurge, God be thanked, and you, my good master. Howsoever, I pray you, take no exception or offence at these my words; for what I have said was not out of any illwill I did bear to you, the Lord he knows.
Thirdly, The ardour of lechery34 is very much subdued35 and mated by frequent labour and continual toiling36. For by painful exercises and laborious37 working so great a dissolution is brought upon the whole body, that the blood, which runneth alongst the channels of the veins38 thereof for the nourishment39 and alimentation of each of its members, hath neither time, leisure, nor power to afford the seminal40 resudation, or superfluity of the third concoction41, which nature most carefully reserves for the conservation of the individual, whose preservation42 she more heedfully regardeth than the propagating of the species and the multiplication43 of humankind. Whence it is that Diana is said to be chaste, because she is never idle, but always busied about her hunting. For the same reason was a camp or leaguer of old called castrum, as if they would have said castum; because the soldiers, wrestlers, runners, throwers of the bar, and other such-like athletic44 champions as are usually seen in a military circumvallation, do incessantly45 travail46 and turmoil47, and are in a perpetual stir and agitation48. To this purpose Hippocrates also writeth in his book, De Aere, Aqua et Locis, that in his time there were people in Scythia as impotent as eunuchs in the discharge of a venerean exploit, because that without any cessation, pause, or respite49 they were never from off horseback, or otherwise assiduously employed in some troublesome and molesting50 drudgery51.
On the other part, in opposition52 and repugnancy hereto, the philosophers say that idleness is the mother of luxury. When it was asked Ovid, Why Aegisthus became an adulterer? he made no other answer but this, Because he was idle. Who were able to rid the world of loitering and laziness might easily frustrate53 and disappoint Cupid of all his designs, aims, engines, and devices, and so disable and appal54 him that his bow, quiver, and darts55 should from thenceforth be a mere57 needless load and burden to him, for that it could not then lie in his power to strike or wound any of either sex with all the arms he had. He is not, I believe, so expert an archer58 as that he can hit the cranes flying in the air, or yet the young stags skipping through the thickets59, as the Parthians knew well how to do; that is to say, people moiling, stirring and hurrying up and down, restless, and without repose60. He must have those hushed, still, quiet, lying at a stay, lither, and full of ease, whom he is able, though his mother help him, to touch, much less to pierce with all his arrows. In confirmation61 hereof, Theophrastus, being asked on a time what kind of beast or thing he judged a toyish, wanton love to be? he made answer, that it was a passion of idle and sluggish62 spirits. From which pretty description of tickling63 love-tricks that of Diogenes’s hatching was not very discrepant64, when he defined lechery the occupation of folks destitute65 of all other occupation. For this cause the Syconian engraver66 Canachus, being desirous to give us to understand that sloth67, drowsiness68, negligence69, and laziness were the prime guardians70 and governesses of ribaldry, made the statue of Venus, not standing71, as other stone-cutters had used to do, but sitting.
Fourthly, The tickling pricks72 of incontinency are blunted by an eager study; for from thence proceedeth an incredible resolution of the spirits, that oftentimes there do not remain so many behind as may suffice to push and thrust forwards the generative resudation to the places thereto appropriated, and therewithal inflate73 the cavernous nerve whose office is to ejaculate the moisture for the propagation of human progeny74. Lest you should think it is not so, be pleased but to contemplate75 a little the form, fashion, and carriage of a man exceeding earnestly set upon some learned meditation76, and deeply plunged77 therein, and you shall see how all the arteries78 of his brains are stretched forth56 and bent79 like the string of a crossbow, the more promptly80, dexterously81, and copiously82 to suppeditate, furnish, and supply him with store of spirits sufficient to replenish83 and fill up the ventricles, seats, tunnels, mansions84, receptacles, and cellules of the common sense,— of the imagination, apprehension85, and fancy,— of the ratiocination86, arguing, and resolution,— as likewise of the memory, recordation, and remembrance; and with great alacrity87, nimbleness, and agility88 to run, pass, and course from the one to the other, through those pipes, windings89, and conduits which to skilful90 anatomists are perceivable at the end of the wonderful net where all the arteries close in a terminating point; which arteries, taking their rise and origin from the left capsule of the heart, bring through several circuits, ambages, and anfractuosities, the vital, to subtilize and refine them to the ethereal purity of animal spirits. Nay91, in such a studiously musing92 person you may espy93 so extravagant94 raptures95 of one as it were out of himself, that all his natural faculties96 for that time will seem to be suspended from each their proper charge and office, and his exterior97 senses to be at a stand. In a word, you cannot otherwise choose than think that he is by an extraordinary ecstasy98 quite transported out of what he was, or should be; and that Socrates did not speak improperly99 when he said that philosophy was nothing else but a meditation upon death. This possibly is the reason why Democritus deprived himself of the sense of seeing, prizing at a much lower rate the loss of his sight than the diminution100 of his contemplations, which he frequently had found disturbed by the vagrant101, flying-out strayings of his unsettled and roving eyes. Therefore is it that Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, tutoress and guardianess of such as are diligently102 studious and painfully industrious103, is, and hath been still accounted a virgin104. The Muses105 upon the same consideration are esteemed106 perpetual maids; and the Graces, for the like reason, have been held to continue in a sempiternal pudicity.
I remember to have read that Cupid, on a time being asked of his mother Venus why he did not assault and set upon the Muses, his answer was that he found them so fair, so sweet, so fine, so neat, so wise, so learned, so modest, so discreet107, so courteous108, so virtuous109, and so continually busied and employed,— one in the speculation110 of the stars,— another in the supputation of numbers,— the third in the dimension of geometrical quantities,— the fourth in the composition of heroic poems,— the fifth in the jovial111 interludes of a comic strain,— the sixth in the stately gravity of a tragic112 vein,— the seventh in the melodious113 disposition114 of musical airs,— the eighth in the completest manner of writing histories and books on all sorts of subjects,— and the ninth in the mysteries, secrets, and curiosities of all sciences, faculties, disciplines, and arts whatsoever115, whether liberal or mechanic,— that approaching near unto them he unbended his bow, shut his quiver, and extinguished his torch, through mere shame and fear that by mischance he might do them some hurt or prejudice. Which done, he thereafter put off the fillet wherewith his eyes were bound to look them in the face, and to hear their melody and poetic116 odes. There took he the greatest pleasure in the world, that many times he was transported with their beauty and pretty behaviour, and charmed asleep by the harmony; so far was he from assaulting them or interrupting their studies. Under this article may be comprised what Hippocrates wrote in the afore-cited treatise117 concerning the Scythians; as also that in a book of his entitled Of Breeding and Production, where he hath affirmed all such men to be unfit for generation as have their parotid arteries cut — whose situation is beside the ears — for the reason given already when I was speaking of the resolution of the spirits and of that spiritual blood whereof the arteries are the sole and proper receptacles, and that likewise he doth maintain a large portion of the parastatic liquor to issue and descend118 from the brains and backbone119.
Fifthly, By the too frequent reiteration120 of the act of venery. There did I wait for you, quoth Panurge, and shall willingly apply it to myself, whilst anyone that pleaseth may, for me, make use of any of the four preceding. That is the very same thing, quoth Friar John, which Father Scyllino, Prior of Saint Victor at Marseilles, calleth by the name of maceration121 and taming of the flesh. I am of the same opinion,— and so was the hermit122 of Saint Radegonde, a little above Chinon; for, quoth he, the hermits123 of Thebaide can no more aptly or expediently124 macerate125 and bring down the pride of their bodies, daunt126 and mortify their lecherous127 sensuality, or depress and overcome the stubbornness and rebellion of the flesh, than by duffling and fanfreluching it five-and-twenty or thirty times a day. I see Panurge, quoth Rondibilis, neatly128 featured and proportioned in all the members of his body, of a good temperament129 in his humours, well-complexioned in his spirits, of a competent age, in an opportune130 time, and of a reasonably forward mind to be married. Truly, if he encounter with a wife of the like nature, temperament, and constitution, he may beget131 upon her children worthy132 of some transpontine monarchy133; and the sooner he marry it will be the better for him, and the more conducible for his profit if he would see and have his children in his own time well provided for. Sir, my worthy master, quoth Panurge, I will do it, do not you doubt thereof, and that quickly enough, I warrant you. Nevertheless, whilst you were busied in the uttering of your learned discourse, this flea134 which I have in mine ear hath tickled135 me more than ever. I retain you in the number of my festival guests, and promise you that we shall not want for mirth and good cheer enough, yea, over and above the ordinary rate. And, if it may please you, desire your wife to come along with you, together with her she-friends and neighbours — that is to be understood — and there shall be fair play.
