Quote

Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!
