Music is an incitement to love.
Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.
In the word of no master am I bound to believe.
He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days.
No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
The consummate pleasure (in eating) is not in the costly flavour, but in yourself. Do you seek for sauce for sweating?
