Constancy is therefore inconstancy held in check and confined to the same object. 因此恒定不變就是將易變控制與局限在同一個對象上。
Constancy in love is perpetual inconstancy, inasmuch as the heart is drawn to one quality after another in the beloved, now preferring this, now that. 愛所恒定不變的是它永恒的易變，因為心被心愛人一個接著一個的特質所吸引，一會兒更喜歡這個，一會兒又更喜歡那個。
