An quicquam stultius quam ex nominum propinquitate vim similem rerum coniectam? Et fortasse an peracute repperisse vobis videbamini, ut quaesisse me fingeretis ad illecebras magicas duo haec marina, veretillam et virginal (disce enim nomina rerum Latina, quae propterea varie nominavi, ut denuo instructus accuses).
Is there anything more stupid than to take words that sound alike to denote similar objects? And yet maybe you thought you had found a very clever ruse'alleging that I had tried to get these two sea creatures, a cockle and a cunner, for their magical powers of attraction (for let me tell you the creatures Latin names, which I have mentioned separately, so that you have learned something before you accuse me again).
