Amantes spes alit. [10]
Amantes spes alit.
Piscibus ob lucrum tenduntur retia, Amantes
Nos quoque virginibus tendimus infidias;
Scilicet optatum quo possideamus amorem
Sic spe quisque sua ducitur, atque alitur.

La speranza nutrice
La speme e del' Amor, la alma nutrice,
Tien viuo il foco soffre non si sdegna.
D'Acquistare e godere il modo insegna
Senza speranza amar, troppo infelice.

Lespoir conduit la pesche
L'amant et le pescheur ont grande ressemblance,
Celuicy pour le gain tend des rets au poisson,
L'autre pour le plaisir aux coeurs tend l'hameçon,
Ils sont ainsy tous deux conduits par l'esperance.

De Hoop verseld den Visser.
Twee werden door de Hoop gedreven en gevoed;
Den Visser en die Mind in 't geen dat zy bezinnen;
De Een werpt zyn net op hoop van voordeel, in den vloed,
En de ander wenst dat hy zyn schoone mag Verwinnen.
