Verse 18. I have bought, &c.] Licitis perimus omnes. More die by meat, then by poyson. Cavete, latet anguis in herba. What more lawfull then a farm? what more honorable, of all pleasures, Vxori [illegible: 1 word] nolo mea. Martial. then marriage? But these men had not so much bought their farms, &c. as were sold to them: not so much married wives, as were married to them.
