Confirmant adversa animos.

Annosam Quercum mage roborat atra procella,
Dum notus ex arcto vim movet Æoliam,
Sic est in adversis rebus, firmatur Amator,
Præmiaque ex Dominæ magna furore legit.

Tanto piu fermo quanto piu scosso.

L'arbor da venti scossa, e da tempesta,
Piu S'interna, e resiste ad ogni assalto;
Contro ogni disfauor, qual fermo smalto,
Si mostra il vero amante, e immobil' resta.

Plus fort par la resistance.

Le chéne S'asfermit, secoué par l'orage,
Ainsy lorsque l'Amour est bien maitre d'un coeur,
Il s'endurcit aux coups d'une injuste rigueur,
Qui ne sert qu'a le faire eclater davantage.

Sterker door tegenstant.

Gelyk een Eyken boom door storremwind geschud,
Zyn top te hooger heft zoo is't met hen die minnen,
Hoe meer door tegenstant gedwarsboomd en gestut,
Hoe meer de Liefde Zal op 'sMinnaars hert gewinnen.
