Among absent lovers, ardor always fares better.
And nobility will not be able to help you with your love; Love does not know how to cede to ancestral images.
Fame due to the achievements of the mind never perishes.
There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre.
In love, a verse of Mimnermus has more power than one of Homer.
Do not unto another that which you would not he should do unto you.
