quippe Amorem eius non amoenum et lascivum, sed contra incomptum et serium pulchritudine honestatis virtutes amatoribus suis conciliare, et si quando decora corpora commendet, a contumelia eorum procul absterrere; neque enim quicquam aliud in corporum forma diligendum quam quod admoneant divinos animos eius pulchritudinis, quam prius veram et sinceram inter deos videre.
Her Love is not sweet and mischievous, but on the contrary unkempt and stern, and by means of moral beauty unites his lovers with the virtues. If ever he makes handsome bodies desirable, he keeps them at a safe distance from abuse, for there is nothing lovable about physical grace except what reminds blessed souls of the true, unblemished beauty they once beheld among the gods.
