He that never had sorrow of love never had joy of it either!

Love is so blissful a thing, so blessed an endeavour, that apart from its teaching none attains worth or reputation.

Swem nie von liebe leit geschach,
dem geschach ouch liep von liebe nie. He that never had sorrow of love never had joy of it either!
