But most blessed of all that breathe is he that has the gift to engage your young neck in the yoke of marriage. I never saw that man that was worthy of you. I never saw man or woman that at all parts equalled you. Lately at Delos (where I touched) I saw a young palm which grew beside Apollo's temple.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
