become either more learned in how to love, or more discerning at fleeing love. And if, while reading this, some sighs or tears overwhelm you, be comforted by the fact that other people are experiencing what you are reading. Neither should one think that he knows love, if he can read me entirely without sighing a bit; and there will be some who read me crying. But, try and glimpse with me, lovers, how much power love has over you. And I believe you will learn something of use for a life loved and appreciated by your fellow citizens.
