You are not to sing of the victorious arms of your caesar.

More quotes by Johannes Secundus

Seek not in borrowed hues your cheeks to dress,
Naked is Love, and loveth nakedness.

Would'st know men's greatest dangers? They are three:
Woman the first, then fire, and then sea.

The wary Lover learns by measure
To circumscribe his greatest joy;
Lest, what well-husbanded yeilds pleasure,
Might by the Repetition cloy.
