Martial also has used the expression of _being silent_, in the above stated sense but, somewhat more obscurely, IX., 5: “If in two apertures you can work, Galla, and can do more than double work in both, why, Aeschylus, does she get tenfold pay? She fellates, but that is not a matter of such price surely. Nay! it is because she must be silent!” It is not her infamy that Galla sells so dear; it is the inconvenience of having to be silent during the process, which, for a prattler, “is a very serious matter,” as Martial says, IV., 81. Book XII., _Epigr._ 35, quoted later on, also refers to this. Footnote 83: It is the same with the word _stuprum_. Festus: The ancients employed the word stuprum for turpitude, as appears in the Song of Neleus. “Foede stupreque castigor cotidie.” (I am foully and disgracefully beaten every day.) Naevius: “They would rather die than return to their co-citizens _cum stupro_.” Footnote 84: First the rogue lends her vulva, then her buttocks, and lastly her mouth. Some suppose the full-bosomed Spatalé of Martial, II., 52 was just as prodigal: “Dasius was astute at counting the bathers; he asked full-bosomed Spatalé the fee of three women, and she paid.” But I believe they wrong the good Spatalé. Dasius, the bathing man, wanted only that Spatalé, whose charms were ample and buxom, she taking up as much room as three other women, should pay for three. The Phyllis of Martial, XII., 65, showed herself liberal in every way: “The beautiful Phyllis, who throughout the whole night had proved herself right liberal in every way....” From this you will understand what Martial means by “refusing nothing” (XI., 50): “I will not deny you anything, Phyllis; for you deny me nothing.” And similarly, IV. 12: “You refuse no one, Thaïs. If you know no shame for this, blush at least that you refuse nothing, Thaïs!” And again, XII., 72: “There is nothing, Lygdus, that you do not now deny me; there was a time when there was nothing you did deny!” And he says (XII., 81) right out: “Whoso refuses nothing, Atticilla, sucks.” It is in this sense that Mallonia refused to be entirely at the mercy of Tiberius; she had already admitted him to her vulva and anus, but when it came to the mouth the poor girl could not overcome her disgust. We have before quoted the passage of Suetonius. Of a woman who refuses nothing, Arnobius (II., 42) says: “That she is ready to undergo anything,” and of a woman that is drunk, “so much so as not to able to refuse anything.” Ovid says (_Art of Love_, III., v. 766): “She is meet to undergo all kinds of assaults.” Footnote 85: Martial, II., 15: “You do not offer your cup to any man; it is discretion, Hermus, forbids, not pride.” And VI., 44: “No one, Calliodorus may drink from your cup.”
