[Footnote 125: - Sic fiunt octo mariti Quinque per autumnos.
Juvenal, Satir. vi. 20.
A rapid succession, which may yet be credible, as well as
the non consulum numero, sed maritorum annos suos computant,
of Seneca, (de Beneficiis, iii. 16.) Jerom saw at Rome a
triumphant husband bury his twenty-first wife, who had
interred twenty-two of his less sturdy predecessors, (Opp.
tom. i. p. 90, ad Gerontiam.) But the ten husbands in a
month of the poet Martial, is an extravagant hyperbole, (l.
71. epigram 7.)]
