of the _cunnilingue_ as a cause, but to _fellation_ also,—only that in the latter case, as we have pointed out, it is rather the inner, in the former rather the external parts, that became affected. Morbus Campanus. (Campanian Disease). § 26. Several of the commentators on _Horace_, and particularly _Laevinus Torrentius_[118] have referred the much-discussed _Morbus Campanus_[119] to the head of _mentagra_; accordingly this will be no inappropriate place at any rate to mention it, though without aiming at a complete explanation. _Horace_ represents two buffoons, _Messius_ and _Sarmentus_, as rallying each other for the amusement of the company: — — Messi clarum genus Osci, Sarmenti domina extat, ab his maioribus orti Ad pugnam venere. Prior Sarmentus: _Equi te Esse feri similem dico._ Ridemus: et ipse Messius: _Accipio_; caput et movet. _O, tua cornu Ni foret exsecto frons_, inquit, _quid faceres, cum Sic mutilus miniteris?_ At illi foeda cicatrix Setosam laevi frontem turpaverat oris. _Campanum in morbum_, in faciem permulta iocatus Pastorem saltaret uti Cyclopa, rogabat; Nil illi larva aut tragicis opus esse cothurnis. Multa Cicirrus ad haec. (Messius was sprung of the renowned race of the Oscans, Sarmentus’ mistress is yet living; from these ancestors derived, they came to the fray. First begins Sarmentus: “I declare you are just like an unbroken horse.” At this sally we laugh, and Messius himself says: “I accept the likeness,” and tosses his head. “Oh! if your horn had not been amputated from your brow,” says he then, “what _would_ you do, since you threaten us so fiercely, mutilated as you are?” Now an ugly scar disfigured the left side of his shaggy brow. After making a number of jibes at his _Campanian disease_, and his face, he asked him to dance the shepherd Cyclops; saying there needed no mask and tragic buskins. Many jests Cicirrus added as well).
