Formosam sane, sed caecus diligit Asper.
Plus ergo, ut res est, quam videt Asper amat. Blind Asper loves a lass that beauteous is, And, as it seems, he loves more than he sees. Àspero ama una donna per certo assai bella; ma è cieco. Àspero, se così è, ama assai più che non veda. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 8, LI
