Third Narrative (4:9)
“You have wounded my heart…"
one has seen such a young man enter into conversation free, healthy and very happy who, not taking guard of himself, sense well before leaving that love helped itself to the regards, the deportments, the words, and indeed event eh hairs of a (feeble and) weak creature. (And) seeing that the arrows will have smitten and wounded his pitiful heart in such (a) way, behold him completely sorrowful, gloomy and astonished. Why, I beg you, is he sorrowful? It is, without doubt, because he is wounded. And what has wounded him? Love.[1]
