Now the Earth with many flowers puts on her spring embroidery

Experience shows us Wealth unchaperoned by Virtue is never an innocuous neighbor.

Stars veil their beauty soon / Beside the glorious moon, / When her full silver light / Doth make the whole earth bright.

I will let my body flow like water over the gentle cushions.

Would Jove appoint some flower to reign, in matchless beauty on the plain, the Rose (mankind will all agree). The Rose the queen of flowers should be.

Beauty endures only for as long as it can be seen; goodness, beautiful today, will remain so tomorrow.

Once again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.
