John Trapp on Proverbs 7:23

Verſ. 23. Till a dart ſtrike thorow his liver] i. e. Filthy luſt, that fiery dart of the Devil, Plato in hepate [non-Latin text not transcribed] ponit. Horat Ode 1. lib. 4. & Ode 25. lib. 5. Ovid. Triſt. pointed and poiſoned (as the Sythian darts are ſaid to bee) with the gall of Aſps and Vipers. Philoſophers place luſt in the liver. Mathematicians ſubject the liver to Venus, the Poets complain of Cupids wounding them in that part.

Cor ſapit, & pulmo loquitur, fel commovit iras: Splen ridere facit, cogit amare jecor.

Or (as ſome ſenſe it) till the Adulterer bee, by the Whores husband or friends, or by the hand of juſtice, deprived of life, perhaps in the very act, as Zimri and Cozbi were by Phineas in the very flagrancy of their luſt.
