Lucrezia de Medioi 与Clarice Orsini 的一段对话，可谓智慧。

“You and my son,are you happy?”

“Of course.”

“He has great respect fou you.”

“Lucrezia Ardinahelli is very beautiful.”

“Lorenzo is young and privileges.He is not accustomed to being denied the things he enjoys.”

“When we met,he said that if I gave him my heart,he would promise before God to take care of it.”

“you are very lovely.And more than worthy of his affections.Give my son time,and he will learn to deny himself his youthful pleasures.Not out of obligation,but love.”
