Quotes
He who loves must not be like a young man, / Who is not yet very wise, / And who loves and then takes it back.
Love, you give so much joy / That you make a man forget all sorrow.
He who is not in love / Is not alive, has no happiness.
Love is a pleasant thing, / A powerful thing, / A great thing; / It is what has made me suffer so much.
Love is a cruel thing, / I say, / And a thing that has caused me much sorrow.
Love, you are so sweet a thought / That you make a man forget all evil.
He who is in love / Will not believe that he is in pain, / But will think that it is a sweet joy.
Love is a great thing, / It is what has made me sick.
The love that I feel for you / Is so great that I cannot tell you.
My heart is so filled with love for you / That I am near to death.
