For this is love's truth; she joins two in one being, makes sweet sour, strangers neighbors, and the lowly noble.

First the lover must learn charity and keep God's law. Then he shall be blessed a hundredfold, and he shall do great things without great effort, and bear all pain without suffering. And so his life will surpass human reason indeed.

Although the season is joyful everywhere, / And mountain and valley are all verdant, / That would seem a truly small matter to him / Who has met mischance in love.

I wish to devote all my time / To noble thoughts about great Love.

May your service of love a beautiful thing; want nothing else, fear nothing else and let love be free to become what love truly is.

Despair makes us serve evil as much as good.

The new year has begun for us. / Now must God grant us with love / That we may be able so to begin it / That it may be of value for Love.
