Afflicted by love's madness all are blind.
Always in absent lovers love's tide flows stronger.
Something greater than the Iliad now springs to birth -Nescio quid maius nascitur Iliade
Fame due to the achievements of the mind never perishes.
Even if my strength should fail, my daring will win me praise: in might enterprises even the will to succeed is enough.
To each man at his birth nature has given some fault.
