Chapter 142 Chapter Forty-Six

How the assertions of Paganuel and Panurge to Tribley are interpreted differently "He said you were a madman, and what a madman you were! Crazy mad, in old age, wanting to marry to discipline and enslave yourself. He said to you: 'Beware of priests!' The tortoise shall be a priest. I'll bet honour--there's nothing more important in the world--that I'd say so even if I were the only prince of peace in Europe, Africa, and Asia. "You know, I believe too much in our 'wise madman ① Trimbley'. Although the oracles and prophecies elsewhere have already destined you to be a turtle, they don't explicitly say who your wife has committed adultery with. , who called you a tortoise. And this venerable Trimble said. It's disgraceful and disgraceful for a priest to call you a tortoise. Let a priest rape and insult your marriage , how can this work?

"He also said that you are going to be the bagpipes of Busance, which means that you belong to the horned people, and you have to grow horns. This is like the man who spoke to King Louis XII on behalf of his brother, and he wanted to be expropriated by Busance. The right to the salt tax ended up with only a bagpipe. The same is true for you, who wanted to marry a virtuous wife and ended up marrying a nasty woman who is undisciplined, arrogant, and only squawks like a bagpipe. "And to think of him playing with you with a piss bubble, and punching you in the spine; it's a prophecy that your wife is going to beat you, play with you, and steal you, just like you used to steal the piss bubble of the Wobton boy. "

"That's not the case at all," said Panurge. "I have no intention of withdrawing from the domain of madmen. I am determined to be mad, and I admit that I am mad. All men are mad. To tell you the truth, in Los Angeles Lin Sheng, there is no distance between lunatics and everyone①. Therefore everyone is a lunatic. Solomon said well that the number of lunatics is infinite. Aristotleus also said that infinite is a number that cannot be increased or decreased. If I am crazy, and I do not think I am crazy, so I am crazy. This is the reason why there are so many crazy people. Avicenna said that there are too many kinds of madness.

"As for his other words and gestures, they were good to me. He said of my woman: 'Beware of the priest!' That means she will love the chaffinch, like Lesbia of Catullus. Like the chaffinch, he catches flies, and lives as happily as Domician, who catches flies. "He also said she was rustic, as rambunctious as a Saurieux or a Bouchance bagpipe. It was this faithful Trimble who knew my nature and my sensibilities. I can tell you that those with disheveled hair and asses A little shepherdess who smells of clover grass pleases me more than a lady with jewels and incense. I prefer the sound of country bagpipes to the music of court harps, fiddles, and dumbbells.

"And he punched me in the back? For God's sake, what is that? It will only reduce my sentence in purgatory! Besides, it doesn't hurt me. It's like he slapped the servant. I told You, ① The original text Morosophe is a combination of two Greek words "wise" and "crazy". ① Crazy (Fou) and Renren (Tou) are the names of two villages and towns in the province of Lorraine. The original pronunciations are quite similar, and the distance between the two villages is only three miles.Another said that the ancient dialect of Lorraine "crazy" (fou) and "everyone" (tou) sound the same, so there is no difference between "crazy" and "everyone".

② See Chapter 8, Section 4, Volume Four, of Erasmus' Proverbs. ③ "Moyneau" (moyneau) and "priest" (moyne) are synonymous in the original text and can be used interchangeably. ④ Lesbia: Mistress of Caturus. ⑤ Domician: Emperor of Rome from 81 to 96 AD, the historian Suitonius said that he used a sharp knife to catch flies every day to play.See chapter three of Suitonius's "Life of Domician". ⑥ Saurieux: The place name of the French Gold Coast province near the Saumi River. He's a good madman, well-meaning; and it's really a crime for anyone to think him wrong.I myself forgive him with sincerity and sincerity.

"As for teasing me with pig piss; it's a joke between my wife and me, a common thing for newlyweds."
