3 quotes

At lovers' perjuries Jove laughs and throws them idly to the winds.

Whatsoever [Love] does, whithersoever she turns her steps, Grace follows her unseen to order all aright.

Attributed

Fear not to swear; the winds carry the perjuries of lovers without effect over land and sea, thanks to Jupiter. The father of the gods himself has denied effect to what foolish lovers in their eagerness have sworn.
