Verse 13
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers - These things seem to be spoken of debauchees, and the following quotation from Ovid, Amor. Iib. i., El. iv., ver. 15, shoots the whole process of the villany spoken of by Solomon:
Cum premit ille torum, vultu comes ipsa modesto Ibis, ut accumbas: clam mihi tange pedem.
Me specta, nutusque meos, vultum que loquacem Excipe furtivas, et refer ipsa, notas.
Verba superciliis sine voce loquentia dicam Verba leges digitis, verba notata mero.
Cum tibi succurrit Veneris lascivia nostrae, Purpureas tenero pollice tange genas
