“Then to conclude, the knight was more liberall that granted his honour than any of the others: and thinke this one thing, that the honour he gave was not to be againe recovered, the whiche happeneth not in many other thinges, as of battels, prowesse, and others like: for if they are at one time lost, they are recovered at an other, and the same is possible. Therefore this may suffice for answere unto your demaund.”
From Boccaccio’s Filocolo:
