The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder (Illustrated)

"It is a wonderful thing to consider the strength of
Princes' wills when they are bent to have their Pleasure
fulfilled, wherein no reasonable persuasions will serve
their turn: how little do they regard the dangerous sequels,
that ensue as well as to themselves as to their Subjects.
And amongst all things there is nothing that makes them
more wilful than Carnal Love, and various affecting of
Voluptuous desires."

Cavendish's Memoirs of Card. Wolsey.
