Gargantua and Pantagruel
Book V.

CHAPTER 5
3/12

By the foot of Pharaoh, cried Panurge, the devil a sou will you get of me.
However, sweet sir, be so kind as to show an honest man the way to those Apedefers, or ignorant people, for I come from the land of the learned, where I did not learn over much.
Still talking on, they got to the island of the Apedefers, for they were soon got over the ford.

Pantagruel was not a little taken up with admiring the structure and habitation of the people of the place.

For they live in a swingeing wine-press, fifty steps up to it.

You must know there are some of all sorts, little, great, private, middle-sized, and so forth.

You go through a large peristyle, alias a long entry set about with pillars, in which you see, in a kind of landscape, the ruins of almost the whole world, besides so many great robbers' gibbets, so many gallows and racks, that 'tis enough to fright you out of your seven senses.
