"Alfin s'invecchia amore Senza quest' arti, e divien pigro e lento, Quasi destrier che men veloce corra, Se non ha chilo segua, o chi 'l precorra."
— Cupid

For love she wist was weak without those arts, And slow; for jealousy is Cupid's food; For the swift steed runs not so fast alone, As when some strain, some strive him to outgone. — Torquato Tasso, Gerusalemme Liberata (1581), Canto V, stanza 70 (tr. Fairfax).
