• In modern English this might read:
There really is very little difference between a wife of honourable rank if she is faithless in how she deals with her body,
and a penniless woman without rank, except that if they both behave badly then, because of the gentlewoman's rank,
people call her his lady love, but call the poor woman his slut or his leman.

Espresso is both a coffee beverage and a brewing method that originated in Italy. When making an espresso, a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure forces through finely-ground coffee beans. It has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages. Its smaller serving size will take three shots to equal a mug of standard brewed coffee.
