Advice to women

Young beauties, enflamed by Love,

young beauties, listen to me.

Fear to abandon your soul

to the god whose law you follow.

Source of joy and sorrow,

he's an ungrateful child

and you need a bit of skill

to bind him while bending before him.

For you, love is business.

For a man, love is pleasure.

He's jealous by nature,

but flighty by desire.

Imitate him when he flies off.

When he gets annoyed, flee him:

He'll be back after her idol

as soon as he has to conquer her.

Often, more in love than anything,

a lover upsets us innocently.

He sees our tears without understanding them

and hurts us more with his apologies.

Don't arm yourself

with false delicacy.

After all, a bit of awkwardness

doesn't prevent someone from loving truly.

Above all, show with finesse

a spirit made for commitment.

Man is unfair in his weakness.

You have to know how to manage him.

Pretend that you learn everything from him.

He likes to parade his wisdom.

You'll see that he will be more tender

the more you let him show it off.

Never cry for a fickle man

or try to insult him:

only by showing courage

can a woman avenge herself.

Stay away from the guilty one, though,

for your fires could spring back to life.

The men we have to stop loving

are always so lovable!

When time, the fearful reaper,

comes to harvest your charms,

let a more loving spirit make him

forget that your cheeks are a little less fresh.

We attract them with our figures,

we keep them with our spirits,

and the spirit is an adornment

that never fades with time.
