“It holds true as well in music, wherein it is a great mistake to place two perfect consonances one after another, for our sense of hearing abhors this, whereas it often enjoys a second or a seventh which in itself is a harsh and unbearable discord. And this is due to the fact that to continue in perfect consonances generates satiety and gives evidence of a too affected harmony, which is avoided when imperfect consonances are mixed in, establishing a kind of comparison, by which our ears are held in greater suspense, and more avidly wait upon and enjoy the perfect consonances, delighting in that discord of the second or seventh as in something that shows nonchalance.”

All women have a great desire to be--and when they cannot be, at least to seem--beautiful. Therefore, wherever nature has failed in this regard, they try to remedy it whith artifice:whence that embellishing of the face with so much care and sometimes with pain, that plucking of the eyebrows and the forehead, and the use of all those methods and the enduring of those nuisances which you ladies think are hidden to men, but which are well known.
