Chapter 62LiVM.3.62
LXXIII. De vitio fornicationis.
LXXIII. De vitio fornicationis.
Fornication is like the worst vipers, who deceive by begging, and it carries the malice of the Devil, who kills and leaves behind justice within itself. From a similar voice, repeated. They love to abandon the bond of connection.

Fornicatio enim pessimis aspidibus, qui supplicando decipiunt, similis est, et etiam malignitatem Diaboli qui occidit, et justitiam relinquit, in se habet ^.
A ex voce simili iterata. — relin catione diligunt W.
