1894 — Plato's The Republic, Book VIII, translated by Benjamin Jowett
Is not such an one likely to seat the concupiscent and covetous element on the vacant throne and to suffer it to play the great king within him, girt with tiara and chain and scimitar?

Call the roller of big cigars, / The muscular one, and bid him whip / In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.

The rumors about Carnival 7NC’s are legion, one such rumor being that their Cruises are kind of like floating meat-market bars and that their ships bob with a conspicuous carnal squeakatasqueakata at night. There’s none of this kind of concupiscent behavior aboard the Nadir, I’m happy to say.
