"Otez l'amour-propre de l'amour, il en reste très peu de chose." "Il n'y a que l'inutilité du premier déluge qui empêche Dieu d'en envoyer un second." "L'homme arrive novice
The Prince of Cleves became passionately in love with Mademoiselle de Chartres, and ardently wished to marry her, but he was afraid the haughtiness of her mother would not stoop to match her with one who was not the head of his family: nevertheless his birth was illustrious, and his elder brother, the Count d'En, had just married a lady so nearly related to the Royal family, that this apprehension was rather the effect of his love, than grounded on any substantial reason.
