So sie aber sich nicht mögen enthalten, so laß sie freien; es ist besser freien denn Brunst leiden.
Y si no tienen don de continencia, cásense; que mejor es casarse que quemarse.
Pero, si no pueden dominarse, que se casen, porque es mejor casarse que arder de pasión.
Mais s'ils manquent de continence, qu'ils se marient; car il vaut mieux se marier que de brûler.
Ma, se non si contengono, maritinsi, perciocchè meglio è maritarsi, che ardere
Mas, se não podem conter-se, casem-se. Porque é melhor casar do que abrasar-se.
但他們若不能自制,就應該嫁娶,與其慾火攻心,倒不如結婚為妙。
