Gaston Goor
Cum ob hanc offensam praeclusissem mihi aditum, quem feceram, iterum ad licentiam redii. Interpositis enim paucis diebus, cum similis casus nos in eandem fortunam rettulisset, ut intellexi stertere patrem, rogare coepi ephebum, ut reverteretur in gratiam mecum, id est ut pateretur satis fieri sibi, et cetera quae libido distenta dictat.

This breach of my word closed against me the approach I had made; but I found my chance again. For not many days after, another festival brought us into the same state as before. When I heard the father snoring, I proceeded to beg the boy to be friends again, that he would let me satisfy him, and the sort of things that love delayed make you say. 
[Petronius Arbiter, Satyricon, 87]
