Un Amour qui marche sur des Chiffres, & en retient un
[f16911211]
Un Amour qui marche sur des Chiffres, & en retient un
Perfectus amor non est nisis ad unum
Je n’en aime qu’un
Un perfetto amore, che ad un solo
Un perfecto amor no es mas que para un solo
Volmaakte min streckt maar tot een eenigste
Parfait love aims but at one
Eiue rechte Leibe zielet nur auf einen
