Published
Classica et Mediaevalia 25 (1964): 263-72.

Description
Surveys arguments that seek to identify sources and analogues to the claim in KnT 1.1625-26 that neither love nor lordship "likes competition with another of its kind," citing similarities with TC 2.755-56, FranT 5.764-67, and others, and arguing that the ultimate sources lie in Ovid's "Metapmorphoses" 2.846-47 and "Ars Amatoria" 3.564.
