No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred.
That fair face will as years roll on lose its beauty, and old age will bring its wrinkles to the brow.
Dear to girls' hearts is their own beauty.
Chaste is she whom no one has asked.
Use the occasion, for it passes swiftly.
I hate a woman who offers herself because she ought to do so, and cold and dry thinks of her sewing when making love.
