Amor mihi Astrum. [39]
Amor mihi Astrum.
Fata regunt homines, blandi junguntur amantes,
Ipso (quis credet) conciliante Deo.
Hic facit ut veluti magnetem Parrhasis ursa,
Ducat amatorem dulcis amica suum.

L'Occhio amato è la mia stella.
Il supremo motor quasi preseriue
A tutti un mezzo che l'Amante inuita,
Come il settentrion la calamita;
Non può fuggir alcun quelche'l ciel seriue.

Son oeil est mon Nord.
De mesme que l'aimant Suit le Nord qui l'attire,
Ainsi lorsque deux coeurs par unarrêt du Sort.
Lun pour l'autre formez se content leur martire,
Chacun deux a linstant se porte uers son Nord.

Haar Oog is mijn Noord ster.
Gelyk de Zeilsteen Volgd het Noorden waar het is,
Zo Volgd een Minnaar Steets na zyn Bemindens Oogen.
Als hy 't Gezicht van haar moet derven, 't is gewis,
dat, Schoon 't Onmooglyk is, hy Steets na haar Zal Pogen.
