1 " Love conquers all. Let Love then smile at our defeat. "
― Virgil , The Eclogues
2 " Amor vincit omnia, et nos cedamus amori.Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love. "
3 " I too am a poet who has found some favour with the Muse. I too have written songs. I too have heard the shepherds call me bard. But I take it from them with a grain of salt: I have the feeling that I cannot yet compare with Varius or Cinna, but cackle like a goose among melodious swans. "
4 " The grim lioness follows the wolf, the wolf himself the goat, the wanton goat the flowering clover, and Corydon follows you, Alexis. Each is led by his liking. "
5 " Time carries all things, even our wits, away. "
6 " Omnia vincit amor et nos cedamus amori. "
