[15] τίκτει μὲν γὰρ τὰς πρὸς σχήματα καὶ χρώματα δι’ ὀφθαλμῶν ἐπιθυμίας, τίκτει δὲ τὰς πρὸς φωνὰς δι’ ὤτων, ἐγκύμων δ’ ἐστὶ καὶ τῶν γαστρὸς καὶ τῶν ὑπ’ αὐτήν, ὥστε πολλῶν ἐκκρεμαμένων
ἐγγόνων βαρύτατον ἄχθος φέρουσα παρίεται καὶ χεῖρας ὑπ’ ἀσθενείας καθεῖσα ἀπολέγεται. τοῦτον μὲν δὴ τὸν τρόπον ἡττῆσθαι συμβαίνει πᾶσιν, ὅσοι φθαρτοῖς ἑαυτοῖς φθαρτὰ γεννῶσιν.

[15] For it brings forth the desire of forms and colours, as gratified by the eyes, and the pleasures arising from sound, as gratified by the ears. It is pregnant ¹ also of the pleasures of the belly and of the parts beneath the belly, so that, as many children are attached to it, it becomes exhausted by bearing this heavy burden, and drops its hands from weakness, and faints away. And in this way it comes to pass that all those things are subdued which bring forth perishable children to themselves, who are likewise perishable.
