Amans quod suspicatur, vigilans somniat.

Te loquor absentem, te Uox mea nominat unam,
Te sine nulla venit nox mihi nulla dies,
Qvid) Ante meos occulos præsto est tua semper Imago,
Et videor vultus mente videre tuos,
Ter) Hi qui amant, ipsi sibi somnia singunt.

Vani e dolci sogni.

Forma L'amante ne la mente uaga,
Gran sogni, e crede al suo desir ben folle,
Ma nel mar caccia, e case in aria estole,
Di mensogne L'amante anche s'apaga.

Heureux en songe.

Malgré les cruautez d'une injuste Maitresse,
Vn songe officieux soulage un pauure amant,
Il porte entre ses bras son aimable tygresse,
Mais le sacheux reueil, l'entire en un instant.

Gelukkig Droomen.

Of schoon een Minnares zig streng en Weigrig toond
Een zoet Droom vertroost den Minnaar in zyn pynen,
Hy beeld zig in te zyn met Wedermin geloond,
Maar met de slaap ziet hy zyn losse Vreugd Verdwynen.
