 | | Master Morello answered: The hurt of old men (me seemeth) master Peter Bembo procureth, who will have them to love after a sort that I for my part understand not; and (me think) the possessing of this beauty which he praiseth so much, without the body, is a dream. |
 | | Not I in good sooth (answered master Morello), but I remember rather that I have seen many beautiful women of a most ill inclination, cruel, and spiteful, and it seemeth that (in a manner) it happeneth always so, for beauty maketh them proud, and pride, cruel. |
 | | Master Morello seemed then somewhat out of patience, and said: I will not know the thing that toucheth me not, but cause you to be taught how the young men ought to covet this beauty, that are not so fresh and lusty as old men be. |
