El que vende piciete muele primero las hojas dél, mezclándolas con una poca de cal, y ansí mezclado estrégalo muy bien entre las manos. Algunos hácenlo de el axenxo de la tierra, y puesto en la boca hace desvanecer la cabeza o emborracha. Hace también digerir lo comido, y hace provecho para quitar el cansancio.
\nThe piciete1 seller first grinds its leaves and mixes them with a bit of quicklime; and once it is mixed this way, he rubs it hard between his hands. Some people substitute it with native wormwood, which, when placed in the mouth, makes one’s head feel faint or makes one drunk. It also helps to digest food and helps to get rid of fatigue.
\npiciete: Hispanicized form of the Nahuatl word piciyetl (tobacco).↩

\nher vulva—an evil woman, proud, very proud. [She is] a little girl, a small girl, then a pleasing little one, a pleasing young woman, a maiden, a wretched maiden; an old woman, a wretched old woman, a little old woman, a corrupt old woman. Restless on the water, living on the water, she is flighty; she travels along the road—travels shamefully along the road; she walks as if a part of the market place; she walks painted in the market place. She walks back and forth many times along the road; she walks circling, constantly. She nowhere finds lodging. She settles anywhere, she sleeps anywhere, she [wakes at] dawn anywhere. In any manner whatsoever night [and] day overtake her.
\nThe seller of fine tobacco sells fine tobacco, … , small tobacco.1 He rubs it between his hands. He who finds fine tobacco chews it. And some prefer wormwood to tobacco. Fine tobacco affects one; it makes one drunk, it aids one’s digestion, it dispels one’s fatigue.
