Danh ngôn của Marie de France (Sứ mệnh: 3)

Fairest and dearest, your wrath and anger are more heavy than I can bear; but learn that I cannot tell what you wish me to say without sinning against my honour too grievously.
For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.
If one of two lovers is loyal, and the other jealous and false, how may their friendship last, for Love is slain!
