“huic aliquis iuvenum dīxisset amantia verba, reddēbat tālēs prōtinus illa sonōs: ‘haec loca lūcis habent nimis et cum lūce pudōris;”

If ever some young man spoke to this [nymph] the words of love, immediately she replied with statements such as: “These places have too much of daylight and, with the light, [too much] of shame; if you lead to more secluded caves, I [will] follow [you].” (A clever ruse used by Cardea; along the journey to the cave, she would then hide from her unsuspecting suitor.)
