The nipple to which it is attached is not merely placed in the mouth of the foetus, but extends into its stomach, where it serves ...

Springing upon my followers, the one who had the spontoon smote Pagolo the Roman first above the left nipple. The other attacked a Milanese who was in our company, and had the ways and manners of a perfect fool.
