“When the naturally beautiful neck is endowed with the adornment of jewels, such industry undoubtedly increases happiness and, as though they were worthy, the honor of necklaces and the loveliness of necks as well. This is also true with you, therefore, whose generosity is constituted by doctrine, so that discipline would perfect the virtues which nature began.”
Julian of Eclanum (c. 386-c. 455) in Commentary on the Song of Songs Fragment 9. CCL 88:400.
