high spirit are more often] dominated by anger and the desire for
revenge than by the [pleasures] of love. The lady in the story was
able to resist these emotions for a long time, but in the end was
overcome by despair. No good woman should let this happen,because, whatever the circumstances, she should not look for an
excuse to act badly. In fact the more excuses she is offered for
doing wrong, the more she should prove her virtue by resisting and
overcoming evil with good, rather than rendering evil for evil -
especially as the wrong one intends to inflict on another person
often rebounds on to oneself. Happy are they in whom God
manifests the virtues of chastity, gentleness, patience and
long-suffering!'
'It seems to me, Longarine,' said Hircan, 'that this lady you've toldus about was moved more by resentment than by love, because if
she'd loved the young gentleman as much as she pretended, she
wouldn't have left him for another man. It follows that she could
reasonably be said to be resentful, bitter, vindictive, stubborn and
fickle!'
'It's easy for you to talk,' said Ennasuite, 'but you don't know how
heart-rending it is to love without having your love returned.'
'True,' he replied, 'because the moment a lady starts to be in the
slightest way cold towards me, I forget all about love and all abouther as well!'
'That may well be so,' said Parlamente, 'for you. All you care
about is your own pleasure. But an honest woman shouldn't leave
her husband in that fashion.'
'However,' said Simontaut, 'the woman in the story completely
forgot she was a woman for a while, for even a man could not have
taken his revenge so well!'
'Because one woman is not virtuous,' said Oisille, 'one should not
think that all others are like her.''All the same,' said Saffredent, 'you are all women. You can
cover yourselves up becomingly with all the finery you like, but the
fact remains that anyone who looks carefully underneath all those
skirts will find that you are all women!'
if we listened to you all day,' said Nomerfide, 'we'd never stop
arguing. But I'm waiting to hear another story, so I'll ask Longarine
if she'll pick the next person to speak.'
Longarine looked at Geburon. 'If you know anything about a
virtuous woman,' she said, 'then will you tell us, please?'
'Since I'm called upon to speak on this subject,' he said, 'I'll tell
you a story about something that happened in Milan.'
