Attamen in quantum lasciva licentia cauto stricta coherceri potuit moderamine freni, congererem graviora meis ne crimina culpis, hac mea castigans lege incentiva repressi; invitam ne quando ullam iurisve alieni adpeterem carumque memor servare pudorem cedere et ingenuis oblatis sponte caverem, contentus domus inlecebris famulantibus uti, quippe reus culpae potius quam criminis esse praeponens famaeque timens incurrere damna.
Howbeit, so far as wilful wantonness could be curbed and bridled with prudent restraint, lest I should heap heavier offences on my faults, I checked my passions with this chastening rule: that I should never seek an unwilling victim, nor transgress anothers rights, and, heedful to keep unstained my cherished reputation, should beware of yielding to free-born loves though voluntarily offered, but be satisfied with servile amours in my own home; for I preferred to be guilty of a fault rather than of an offence, fearing to suffer loss of my good name.
