To love no one that is possible; but not to love a particular person that is absurd. Have you then any idea what love is? 'Amantes sunt dementes' Lovers are demented. What don't you like about him?

Pro custodia huius Castri sunt ibidem omni tempore morantes sex millia personarum, et pro, seruiendo, dum ibi residet, ipsi Soldano, qui omnes de Curia eadem accipiunt necessaria, et donatiua.
