Translations
 |
[Heinsius, Emblemata amatoria 5.1/5.3]. Wat me voedt, dooft me ook. |
 |
[Heinsius, Emblemata amatoria 5.1/5.3]. What feeds me, extinguishes me. |
|
Zoals een fakkel door het vet waarmee hij wordt gevoed, ook weer dooft, zo kom ik om door wie ik leef en sterf door degene
op wie ik smoorverliefd ben. |
|
As a torch is extinguished by the fat that feeds it, thus who gives me life, feeds me and infatuates me engenders my death. |
