βRes est soliciti plena timoris amor.
Love is a thing full of anxious fears.β
βHei mihi! quod nullis amor est medicabilis herbis.
Ah me! love can not be cured by herbs.β
βNon bene conveniunt, nec in una sede morantur, Majestas et amor.
Majesty and love do not well agree, nor do they live together.β
βQui finem quΓ¦ris amoris, (Cedit amor rebus) res age; tutus eris.
If thou wishest to put an end to love, attend to business (love yields to employment); then thou wilt be safe.β
βQuicquid Amor jussit non est contemnere tutum. Regnat, et in dominos jus habet ille deos.
It is not safe to despise what Love commands. He reigns supreme, and rules the mighty gods.β
