Love at Auction
Let him be sold as he sleeps in his mother's arms, let him be sold! Why should such a wastrel be nourished?
He was born snub-nosed and winged; he scratches savagely with his nails, he laughs and cries at once; moreover he is obstinate, ever-talking, sharp-sighted, wild, and not even gentle to his mother. A complete monster.
Let him be sold. If any merchant, just about to sail, wishes to buy a slave, let him step forward.
But see! he begs, he weeps! I will not sell you! Be happy, you shall stay and grow up near Zenophile.
