“But not on that account (for I'd be wrong)
Would I advise you, ladies, to shun love,
For like a vine untended, with no strong
Support to cling to, you would be.”

Non vi vieto per questo (ch'avrei torto)
Che vi lasciate amar; che senza amante
Sareste come inculta vite in orto,
Che non ha palo ove s'appoggi o piante.
Canto X, stanza 9 (tr. B. Reynolds)
