Quintia is lovely to many; to me she is radiant, tall, and straight. Each of
these qualities I grant, but deny the whole of these is loveliness: for there is
no charm, not a grain of salt in so great a body. Lesbia is lovely, for not only is the whole of her most
beautiful, but she has stolen all the Venus-charm from everybody together.
