10And what could be more painful? for the power of fire, being sharp and quick, speedily dissolved their bodies.
11And think it not wonderful that reasoning bore rule over those men in their torments, when even a woman’s mind despised more manifold pains.

14where irrational animals possess a similar sympathy and love for their offspring with men.
