6) Personal Injuries. Aggravating circumstances.

— Why of the unpleasant, rather than of the acute. kind than a heavy blow with a large bludgeon, a
kick behind more ignominious still, and spittle spitting
in the face more ignominious perhaps than either.
And in general it seems that the [Pain of] Ignominy
that is apt to result from an outrage of this
