Be bold: Venus herself aids the stout-hearted.
A wise man sings his joy in the closet of his heart.
The Love-god inflames more fiercely those he sees are reluctant to surrender.
Esteem all things that are good.
Don't fear to pledge. By winds the perjuries of love Are blown, null and void, across the land and farthest seas.
How mad it is to summon grim death by means of war!
