Auro conciliatur Amor. [38]
Auro conciliatur Amor.
Quare nunc donis, Amor, illaque aris, et auro:
Qui, dum simplicitas illa paterna fuit;
Ex mero Amore soles facilem aspirare favorem,
Lumine nunc captus, nil nisi dona vides.

A Donna dona.
Gia Si solea trouar per cortesia
Gratia, e fauor' amando, hor' al rouerso
Nulla può la virtù, sol l'or peruerso
Al tuo disegno t'aprirà la via.

Par le chemin doré.
Le merite autrefois étoit fort a la mode.
On s'aqueroit un coeur par la seule uertu,
Mais ell'est maintenant deuenüe incommode,
Et l'or est aujourdhuy le seul chemin batu.

Door een Goude Weg.
Men kon wel eer door deugd Geraaken tot zyn wil,
En door die Braave weg een Iuffers hert Bekooren;
Maar nu de Gierigheid den Menssen hert Bezit,
Moet Niemant Trachten als door Goud daar door te booren.
