| 34 | 683 | Who cares for her feelings? How worthless is the love of a slave! How insulting to the master that that she should so declare it to him! What is he to make of that? How is he to respond to such a thing? Would this not make him uneasy. |
| 34 | 684 | Would this not be displeasing to him? Would he not think then of ridding himself of her, of selling her? How worthless is such a love! She is only a slave! Let her struggle to conceal the secrets of her heart. |

And that a master might fall so low as to care for a slave! Would he not be mad? How incomprehensible would be such a descent and failing! The slave is merely goods to be bought and sold, an object to be mastered, a beast to be strictly controlled, something by which to be pleased and served, something from which inordinate pleasure is to be derived. |
