That death is best which comes appropriately at a ripe age.
Do not unto another that which you would not he should do unto you.
Among absent lovers, ardor always fares better.
Love is fostered by confidence and constancy; he who is able to give much is able also to love much.
Faith is not sure, if you cannot turn love to quarrel; may my enemies obtain a mild mistress.
And nobility will not be able to help you with your love; Love does not know how to cede to ancestral images.
