Let the first care be in your own behavior, girls. The face pleases when the character commends. Love of character is lasting: age destroys beauty, and a pleasing face will have been dried out with wrinkles. There will be a time in which it will bother you to see your own reflection, and grief will come as a second cause of wrinkles. It is sufficient, and uprightness endures into old age, and through its years love depends on this.
