The law of love is to captivate one, And to give another joyous freedom.

About
Maurice Sceve was a French poet active in Lyon during the Renaissance period. He was the centre of the Lyonnese côterie that elaborated the theory of spiritual love, derived partly from Plato and partly from Petrarch. This spiritual love, which animated Antoine Héroet's Parfaicte Amye as well, owed much to Marsilio Ficino, the Florentine translator and commentator of Plato's works.
