Un Cupidon qui insinuë avec une Flute ce qu’il veut à un Vieillard
Vincit astu Amor
La ruse d’Amour passe tout
Vigil Amor’ la vigilanza inganna
El vigilante Amor vence ala treta
De Liefde gaat in looshyd alles te booven
Love overcomes all things by subtilitie
Die Liebe ubertrifft alles durch listigkeit
