Do not speak of it then, answered Panurge, and I will tell it you.

I see that the sine quo nons, kallibistris, or contrapunctums of the women of this country are better cheap than stones.

Of them should the walls be built, ranging them in good symmetry by the rules of architecture, and placing the largest in the first ranks, then sloping downwards ridge-wise, like the back of an ass.

The middle-sized ones must be ranked next, and last of all the least and smallest.

This done, there must be a fine little interlacing of them, like points of diamonds, as is to be seen in the great tower of Bourges, with a like number of the nudinnudos, nilnisistandos, and stiff bracmards, that dwell in amongst the claustral codpieces.
