It is not good for one lover to take anything against the will of the other. A male cannot love until he has fully reached puberty. Two years of mourning for a dead lover are prescribed for surviving lovers. No one should be deprived of love without a valid reason. No one can love who is not driven to do so by the power of love.
Love always departs from the dwelling place of avarice.
It is not proper to love one whom one would be ashamed to marry. The true lover never desires the embraces of any save his lover. Love rarely lasts when it is revealed. Every lover turns pale in the presence of his beloved. When a lover suddenly has sight of his beloved, his heart beats wildly.
