| 175r, "Si ergo Pandion, homo educatus in
silvis, solo aspectu, solo motu oculorum, sola personae dignitate, sola
formae vetustate commotus, qui nondum suaves amplexus, nondum coetera
mulierum officia dulcissima expertus erat, adeo tamen exarsit ut,
posthabitis omnibus aliis, de sola muliere cogitaret, mirandum credo
erit si nos abundantibus deliciis enutriti, tam coeleste, tarn divinum
animal tantopere appetamus. These
frogs also play the most bizarre amplexus (mating) game. Each selects a male and pulls him onto
her back in a mating clasp called amplexus. |
