To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By Hercules, that is it, for so she bore herself and walked. Though still a woman she looks aloft and aims at divinity, she who has voices for servants, and compels the very winds. But I, poor wretch ! Fate has given me a husband older than my father, balder than a pumpkin, a boy in stature, and who keeps the whole house under lock and key." Then followed the other, " I endure a husband bent double with gout, and who, for this reason, can but rarely offer up a lover's dues : I spend most of my ...time rubbing his hands, crippled and hardened with chalkstones, making my once delicate hands all chapped and hard by preparing evil-smelling poultices, by touching the filthy bandages and foetid cata- plasms : I do not fulfil the gentle duties of a wife, but the arduous labours of a nurse. That you, sister, should see all this — you who bear patiently so much suffering, or, to speak plainly, 26 such such slavery ! As for me, I can no longer bear to see such good fortune fall on one so un- worthy.
