Love is strong, patient and faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is never self-seeking, for in whatever a person seeks himself there he falls from love. Love is circumspect, humble, and upright. It is neither soft nor light, nor intent upon vain things. It is sober and chaste, firm and quiet, guarded in all the senses.
Love is subject and obedient to superiors.
He who is not ready to suffer all things and to stand resigned to the will of the Beloved is not worthy to be called a lover.
