444 O Che Sciagura D'Essere Senza Coglioni

I am currently reading Candide by Voltaire and I find it very inspiring. So the next few drawings will dedicated to the book. This scene in the book involves this Castrato finding the beautiful daughter of the pope sleeping beneath a tree and he says, "O che sciagura d'essere senza coglioni". Which means o what a misfortune to be without balls. I found what the castrato said to be funny even though it carries with it some dark connotations. If he had had the balls then he would be doing some terrible things at that moment.
