A man asked what cause had originated the lesbians and effeminate males. The old man explained: "It was Prometheus again, the creator of us, people of clay, those who, as soon as collide with fate, they fall apart. The parts of the sex, that modesty hides under a robe, Prometheus had molded separately, working on them a whole day, so that he could then adapt them to their bodies, when, suddenly, he was
invited to dinner at Libero's. There, he watered his veins abundantly with nectar and then returned home late with faltering step. At this point, with a sleepy mind and diverted by intoxication, he applied the female sex parts to the male gender and the male members applied them to the females. And so now the pleasure obtains a distorted enjoyment of it."
[Rogavit alter, tribadas et molles mares
Quae ratio procreasset? Exposuit senex:
«Idem Prometheus, auctor vulgi fictilis
Qui simul offendit ad fortunam frangitur,
Naturae partis veste quas celat pudor,
Cum separatim toto finxisset die,
Aptare mox ut posset corporibus suis,
Ad cenam est invitatus subito a Libero.
Ubi irrigatus multo venas nectare
Sero domum est reversus titubanti pede.
Tum semisomno corde et errore ebrio
Applicuit virginale generi masculo
Et masculina membra applicuit feminis.
Ita nunc libido pravo fruitur gaudio».]
