Habits of life in Banuj Panurge was of medium height, neither too tall nor too short, with a slightly hooked nose shaped like the handle of a razor; about thirty-five years of age, sharp and sharp, as easily gilded as a lead sword, He just wants to take advantage of others, and he looks pretty, besides being a little absurd, and he is also born with a disease called "no money is extremely painful", but when he needs it, he always has sixty. There are three ways to get your hands on money, the most verbal and the most common of which is stealing.Besides, he was a mischief-maker, a trickster, a drinker, a loafer, and a chasing woman if he was in Paris.In addition, he is considered "the most honest and good people in the world"③; he always thinks of ways to make trouble for the police and night watchmen.

He used to gather three or four rough men, get them drunk in the evening, and then lead them to Saint-Geneviève ④ or near the school of Naval ⑤, waiting for the night policeman to come ( He can hear it, just put the sword on the ground, listen carefully, if the sword shakes, it must be true, the night watchman must be not far from him), at this time, he and his companion took a The cart overturned, and it was forced to roll down the slope⑥, knocking the watchmen down like pigs; He found out all the streets and alleys, just like his Deusdet⑦. Another time, in a lively square, on the road where the night watchman was supposed to pass, he sprinkled a shot of gunpowder, and when the policeman passed by, he lit the gunpowder, and stood aside to admire the policeman. Seeing the way the soldiers ran away, they thought it was St. Anthony's fire that burned their thighs.

For those so-called masters of art, his mischief is even more severe.Once he met one in the street, he never rested without playing tricks on them.Sometimes he put a piece of dung on the top of their brimmed hat, sometimes he tied a fox's tail or rabbit's ears behind their back, or some other trick. One day, these masters were summoned to Caoshi Street ②, and Banuzhi prepared a Burbonai-style cake ③ for them, which contained a lot of garlic, "Garbanum", "Asa? Fertilda" ④, beaver's kidney essence, fresh shit, and then dip the cake in the pus and blood of the chancre, and smear it all over the floor in the morning ⑤, even the ghosts can't stay there.As a result, those people vomited in the public like foxes skinned, ten or twelve died of the plague, fourteen got leprosy, eighteen got scabies, The other twenty-seven were infected with syphilis; but ① lead cannot be gilded, which was known at the time, and the word "gilded" (dorer) has the meaning of "deception", and the author deliberately said that he can only deceive people.

He doesn't care at all.He often carried a whip under his clothes, and when he met the servants who brought wine to the master, he whipped them severely and urged them to leave quickly.

His overcoat had more than twenty-six small pockets, always full: One contained a small thimble of lead, and a swift knife, which, like a leather-sewing needle, was used to cut other people's pockets; and another containing burdocks, with the feathers of a bird or chicken, which he used to throw on other people's coats or hats, and he often added some pretty horns to them, so that He wears them all over the city, sometimes for a lifetime; women, he does not let them go, he often makes something like a man's thing and puts it behind someone's hat; there is also a pocket that holds a roll Little scrolls full of lice and fleas, which he caught from the beggar of St. Inoison, and threw them, with reeds or writing feathers, on the collars of the most delicate girls he met on the road. In church, too, he never went in the middle where everyone could see him, but was always on the sidelines, mingling with the women, whether it was at mass, or at afternoon chanting, or when he was preaching; There was a pocket containing a great number of hooks and pins, which he used to hook together in crowds of men and women, especially those ladies in chiffon, who, when they left, were always in torn; and another pocket in which were scythes, papers, kindling-pipes, flints, and all that was necessary for making fire; The eyes of women make them angry.When in church he could make them fidget; for he said that "a woman who loves the mass" is not much different from a "woman with soft hips"; .

Once, in the great hall at the entrance to the palace, a Franciscan priest said mass for the gentlemen of the Supreme Court. He helped the priest to dress and put on the vestment; The gown was sewn on to the priest's robe and shirt, and by the time the lords and lords of the palace had sat down to Mass, he had slipped away.After saying Ite Missaest, when the unfortunate priest wanted to take off his white gown, he lifted up his gown and shirt, for they were firmly sewn together; It was pulled up to the shoulders, showing all the things on the lower body to others, needless to say, it is really not small.The priest was still pulling, more and more exposed, and an adult in the palace said: "Why, does this priest want us to lick his ass? Let St. Anthony's fire kiss him!" Since then From then on, an order was issued that priests were not allowed to undress in front of people, but had to go to changing rooms, especially not in front of women: because this gave them an opportunity to think evil.Some people may ask why the priest's guy is so long. Panurge answered this question very well, he said:

"Donkeys have long ears because their mothers don't put hats on their heads, as de Arriago says in his "Conjectures". Old priests' things." The buds of burdock seeds stick to the clothes and cannot be removed. ② There is only two letters difference between "femme folle a la messe" and "femme molle a la fesse" (femme molle a la fesse) in the original text; the author calls it "a difference of one stroke" (antistrophe). ① The hall is seventy meters long and sixteen meters wide. ② Latin: "The Mass is finished", a verse when the Mass is about to end.

③ De Arriago (1350-425): Cardinal, the confessor of Charles VI, with works on philosophy and ethics. The reason is the same, because they don't wear crotch pants, their thing can hang down freely, dangling down to the knees, like women's rosary.As for why it is so thick, it is because it is swaying and swaying, and all the liquid on its body has dropped to that thing; according to the inference of jurists, the vibration and non-stop activities are the source of attraction.

The little rooster jumped about like a rooster, some rolled like marbles on a drum, and some ran all over the street. He ran behind others, and when he met a woman who was undressing, he acted very attentively and politely. Politely, he took off his coat to cover their backs.

Also, in the other pocket, there is a small bottle filled with cotton oil. When he meets a well-dressed woman or man, he will use the excuse to touch the clothes of others, and oil them in the most important places.

There was also a pocket full of finely ground euphorbia, in which he put an embroidered handkerchief stolen from the beautiful lingerie merchant at the palace gate, under the pretense of being on someone's breast. He stole it while removing a lice, and he put the lice himself.When he was with his ladies, he always tried to get people to talk about underclothes, so he would put his hand on people's breasts and ask them, "Is this a Flemish work, or a Heyster?" What?" He said, pulling out his handkerchief, "Look, see how well the job is done; it's from Phutignan, or it's from Phutarabia ’” he waved his handkerchief under people’s noses so hard that the ladies couldn’t stop sneezing for four hours.He farted like a horse, and the women laughed and said to him: "Why, are you farting, Banurge?" He replied: "No, madam; I saw you Play music with your nose, and I'll match it for you." There was also a pocket in which there was a pair of pliers, a lock-hook, a pick, and other small implements, by which he could open all doors and chests. There is also a pocket full of little bowls and cups, and he is very good at juggling: for his fingers are so dexterous, as clever as Minerva and Arachnas, and he once sold wild medicine. What about ④.If he goes to change a Daystone or other coin, if he can't make five or six silver pieces go away openly and in full view, and if he can't make the money changer Chapters: De Aria's "Ethics" in a chapter. ① It is said that alum powder is as light as a goose feather, comes from North Africa, and has a strong contraction force. ② The original text here rhymes, but the tone is not coherent. Maybe the author put an idiom here. ③ At that time, there was a grocery market between the palace hall and the church.
