"I heard that the doorkeeper went into the pool, threw water on herself, and,
after immersing herself completely, began to sport, taking water in her mouth
and squirting it all over her sisters and the porter. Then she washed herself
under her breasts, between her thighs and inside her navel. Then she rushed
out of the pool, sat naked in the porter's lap and, pointing to her
slit, asked 'My lord and my love, what is this?' 'Your womb,' said he,
and she replied, 'Pooh, pooh, you have no shame,' and slapped him on
the neck. 'Your vulva,' said he, and the other sister pinched him,
shouting 'Bah, this is an ugly word.' 'Your cunt,' said he, and the
third sister boxed him on the chest and knocked him over, saying 'Fie,
have some shame.' 'Your clitoris,' said he, and again the naked girl
slapped him, saying, 'No.' 'Your puddenda, your pussy, your sex
tool,' said he, and she kept replying, 'No, no.' He kept giving
various other names, but every time he uttered a name, one of the
girls hit him and asked, 'What do you call this?' And they went on,
this one boxing him, that one slapping him, another hitting him.
At last, he turned to them and asked, 'All right, what is its name?'
The naked girl replied, 'The basil of the bridges." The porter cried,
'The basil of the bridges! You should have told me this from the
beginning, oh, oh!" Then they passed the cup around and went on
drinking for a while."
