Love is fostered by confidence and constancy; he who is able to give much is able also to love much.

Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone?

If you see anything, always deny that you've seen; or if perchance something pains you, deny that you're hurt.

There is something beyond the grave; death does not end all, and the pale ghost escapes from the vanquished pyre.

Faith is not sure, if you cannot turn love to quarrel; may my enemies obtain a mild mistress.

Beauty is fading, nor is fortune stable; sooner or later death comes to all.

Fickleness has always befriended the beautiful.
