Plut. Mor., Conjugal Precepts 30 — Conjugal Precepts, Plutarch; served verbatim

The Egyptian women were anciently never wont to wear shoes, to the end they might accustom themselves to stay at home. But altogether different is the humor of our women; for they, unless allowed their jewels, their bracelets, and necklaces, their gaudy vestments, gowns, and petticoats, all bespangled with gold, and their embroidered buskins, will never stir abroad.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
