Health and pleasure do not have the same limits. What is enough for health is too little for pleasure. And it is often questionable whether it is the necessary care of the body which still asks nourishment, or whether a sensual snare of desire wants to be served. In this uncertainty, my unhappy soul rejoices and prepares in it an excuse to shield itself, glad that it is not clearly apparent what would suffice for the moderation of health, so that under the cloak of health it may conceal the business of pleasure.
