Answer 1

- &quot;real jealousy always increases the feeling of love,&quot; and &quot;jealousy, and therefore love, are increased when one suspects his beloved&quot;

- ...all lovers are bound to keep their lover secret.  Likewise, if they correspond with each other by letter they should refrain from signing their own names.  Furthermore, if the lovers should for any reason come before a court of ladies, the identity of the lovers should never be revealed to the judges, but the case should be presented anonymously.  And they ought not to seal their letters to each other with their own seals unless they happen to have secret seals known only to themselves and their confidants.  In this way their love will always be retained unimpaired.

example - This element of secrecy can also be seen in the love affair of Abelard and Heloise.

- Love causes a rough and uncouth man to be distinguished for his handsomeness; it can endow a man even of the humblest birth with nobility of character; it blesses the proud with humility; and the man in love becomes accustomed to performing many services gracefully for everyone.  O what a wonderful thing is love, which makes a man shine with so many virtues and teaches everyone, no matter who he is, so many good traits of character!
