P. Syr.
DETEGIT AMOREM FORTVNA.translationtranslation
Eurip.
Vt speculum puellæ faciem arguit
sic amantem fortuna.translationtranslation

Fortune is loues looking-glas.
Eu’n as a perfect glasse doth represent the face,
Iust as it is in deed, not flattring it at all.
So fortune telleth by aduancement or by fall,
Th’euent that shall succeed, in loues luck-tryed case.

Fortuna specchio d’Amore.
Si come il fido specchio i gesti, e l’opre
Di bella, e brutta façcia manifesta,
Cosi per sorte prospera ò molesta
Nei suçceßi l’amante si disçuopre.

Fortuyne Liefdes spieghel.
Heel onbedrieghlick toont een goede spieghel claerlick
Eens dochters aenschijn schoon/ of soo het is bevleckt:
Soo doet oock de Fortuyn die ’s minnaers hert ontdeckt.
Gheluck of ongheluck maeckt alles openbaerlick.

Fortune miroir d’Amour.
La face de la fille vn miroir fait paroistre,
Au vray sans flatterie, & il ne ment;
Par la fortune aussi se descouure l’amant.
Par le succes se fait le cœur loyal cognoistre.
