Dante thought he had fully disclosed the love theme. He added, however, that everything has its time limit. The Italian poet stated that his rook was drawn to a previously unexplored route, namely the vastness of the sea. The aforementioned attraction, he said, was impossible to overcome.

Dante speaks of repeatedly conveying to him the information that one allows oneself to be caught on any hook. Otherwise, according to the Italian poet, his tired hand would hardly have picked up the pen and taken up the task of writing the lines of this work. He writes that on those occasions when one falls in love right and left, the god of love begins to throw arrows with feeble force.

Dante argues that one must pay attention to one’s own heart because it can begin to rule the human soul. The Italian poet says that such an example is contradictory.
