Deux Amours, dont l’un presente la foi à l’autre qui la refuse
[f16910901]
Deux Amours, dont l’un presente la foi à l’autre qui la refuse
Negare jussi, pernegare non jussi
Tel refuse, qui aprés muse
Chi mi rifiuta, mi brama
Tal huye, quin Casa
Zodanig een vveygert nu, die daerna vergeefs zoekt
Many refuse a thing novv, that they seek afterwards
Viel vveigeren jetzt ein ding, das sie nachgehends suchen
