XLII.

Liberalitas amoris.

Prou. 21. v. 20.
Manum suā aperuit inopi,
& palmas suas extendit
ad pauperem.[Bible

, Proverbs 31:20]

Pet.
Rauennas.
Manus pauperis est gazophyla-
cium Christi: & quicquid
pauper acceperit, Christus ac-
ceptat. Da ergo pauperi ter-
ram, vt accipias cœlum: da
micam vt accipias totum: da
pauperi vt detur tibi: quia
quicquid pauperi dederis tu
habebis: quod pauperi non
dederis, habebit alter.

Facit munificium Amor

Semper habet vnde det cui plenum
est pectus Charitatis.[Augustinus, Enarrrationes

, l1/l2/l3/plv/plp. 36/2/13/36/371]

Iamais l’Amour n’at esté chiche:
Plus donnet il, plus il est riche

[175/Fiij] ↓

Liberalité de l’amovr.

L’Amour n’espuise ses richesses
A faire sans fin ses largesses:
Il s’ouure en se faisant le lieu
Où pauureté n’a point d’entrée;
Il s’ouure le ciel empyrée
Où sont tous les thresors de Dieu.
