Gargantua and Pantagruel
Book III.

CHAPTER 3
3/7

By the body of a hen, we shall make good cheer, and be as merry as crickets.

You shall wear the bridegroom's colours, and, if we eat a goose, my wife shall not roast it for me.

I will entreat you to lead up the first dance of the bridesmaids, if it may please you to do me so much favour and honour.
There resteth yet a small difficulty, a little scruple, yea, even less than nothing, whereof I humbly crave your resolution.

Shall I be a cuckold, father, yea or no?
By no means, answered Hippothadee, will you be cuckolded, if it please God.

O the Lord help us now, quoth Panurge; whither are we driven to, good folks?
To the conditionals, which, according to the rules and precepts of the dialectic faculty, admit of all contradictions and impossibilities.
