Inevitabilis Jctus. [31]
Jnevitabilis Jctus.
Defendit Parthi celeres lorica Sagittas,
Pellere vim ferri, ferreus umbo valet,
At nihil a telis pharetrati valet Amoris,
Tela volant certo vulnere missa Deo.

Trapassa il tutto.
Ne acciar, ne ferro, ne valor, ne pondo,
E ch'al dardo d'Amor resister possa,
Leggiermente trapassa i cori e l'ossa,
Cede à suoi strali quanto abbraccia il mondo.
E ch'al dardo d'Amor resister possa,

Ses traits inevitables.
Les plus grands coups de Mars ne sont pas immanquables
Par l'adresse ou la force on peut les aréter.
Mais les traits de l'Amour Sont tous inevitables,
Il n'est point de vertu qui puisse y resister.

Zyn Schooten zyn Onvermydelyk.
De Grootste Slaagen van de Krygsgod kan men wel
Of door Behendigheid, of moet, of krachten keeren,
Maar ach! de Schooten van de Min die zyn zo fel,
Dat Niemant als de Deugd daar van kan Triomfeeren.
