Assiduo flectimur obsequio.

Viminibus lentis formatur circulus arcto.
Nexu, et continuo vasis ad officium.
Flexibili esto animo, Juvenis, si brachia circum.
Vis Dominam veluti circulus, ire tuam.

L'Humiltá frange l'orgoglio.

Vna lagrima sola, ahi, quanto ha forza;
D'ogni piu duro Cor, il centro incava,
Bianca é sol quella fe', che il pianto lava;
L'humido ciglio sol lo sdegno ammorza.

L'Amour souple.

Souple comme un ozier sous l'oeil de ta maitresse
Tu dois etudier et fuiure les humeurs.
Ne pargne ny soupirs, ny larmes, ny langueurs.
L'Amour est tout puissant, conduit par la souplesse.

de min is Buigzaan.

Gelyk een rietje moet gy Buigen onder haar
Die gy Bemind, en steets na Volgen haar Begeeren,
Spaar Zugten, traanen, noch Beklaagchelyk Misbaar,
Haar Iok, Wanneer als zy Gedwee is, kan niet deeren.
