2. Harmoniam rerum Amor conservat.
Kuypt kleyne kuyper kuypt, die alle man doet buygen,
En treft met u gewelt, en voeget al aen een.
VVant waer het sonder u, de weerelt viel in duygen,
Die nu behouden wordt van u, en anders geen.
V vader is een smit, een koppelster u moeder,
Ghy maeckt de hoepen vast van hemel en van aerdt.
Het ambacht dat is goet. want ghy sijt den behoeder,
Die 'sweerelts groote ton van onderganck bewaert.
