The man who does not believe that Love is the greatest of gods, I should think he's either a fool or else untried in worldly affairs. It is in his power to make mad whom he will, to make him wise or crazed, or cast him straight into disease.
Deum qui non summum putet
Aut stultum aut rerum esse inperitum existumem.
Cui in manu sit, quern esse dementem velit,
Quem sapere, quern insanire, quem in morbum inici.
Aut stultum aut rerum esse inperitum existumem.
Cui in manu sit, quern esse dementem velit,
Quem sapere, quern insanire, quem in morbum inici.
