Appétits libidineux. — Vieillard libidineux.
La Papauté était dignement représentée par les deux Borgia, et les rois n'étaient pas mieux traités que les papes : ces tyrans libidineux ne s'occupaient guère que de leurs concubines quand ils ne jouaient pas au bilboquet ; pendant ce temps, leurs « suppôts » percevaient des impôts écrasants, qui atteignaient jusqu'à dix pour cent des revenus de la nation.
