(2) Nobility (since aristocracy springs from love, and love from aristocracy). (3) Wealth, a tainted source, but abundant. (4) Power. It is to this last that be maliciously ascribes the love of princesses, the best and most practical of all. Ambitious by destiny, he says, prin- cesses necessarily yearn for glory ; wherefore they are more accessible than others, and no one renders love graver, loftier, more substantial. (5) Beauty, a very stimulating factor, but secondary. (6) The mere rapture o...f the senses. Alas ! many women, even in the highest stations, must have owed shameful connections to this cause ! (7) Fame. The thought of hearing themselves sung about, of seeing them- selves in pictures and statues, of being analysed and made the subject of dissertations, is a strong incentive to love : women love posterity in this guise. (8) The love of love, the artistic pleasure in knowing themselves loved, adored. (9) Elegant love, a matter of gay doublets and a good stable. (10) Obsequious love, not very amusing, but prac- tical and very common ; a love made up of little attentions, little symbolic presents, balls and banquets ; Nifo had seen Prince Ferdinand of Salerno win his lady by means of a ball.
