How to keep the love of a girl


"In short, a man who wants to keep the love of any girl, whatever she may be, ugly or beautiful, must observe this commandment of mine, and he should remember it always and consider it very precious: let him give any girl to understand that he cannot protect himself against her, so dumbfounded and amazed is he by her beauty and worth, for there is no woman, however good she may be, old, young, worldly or cloistered, no lady so religious, however chaste of body or soul, who does not take delight in hearing someone go about praising her beauty. No matter how ugly she may be called, one should swear that she is more beautiful than a fairy; one may do so securely, since she will easily believe him, for every woman, I know well, thinks of herself as one so beautiful, however ugly she may be proven, that she is indeed worthy to be loved."

Ur "Le Roman de la Rose" av Guillaume de Lorris och Jean de Meun
