Par pari [56]

Dilectus meus mihi, & ego illi; ille intendit meæ li-

voluntati: ille mihi & non alteri, quia vna sum columba
eius, ego illi & non alteri, nec enim audio vocem alie-
norum.

Hebt lief die hier int aertsche dal
Ghecomen is om uwen t’willen,
En heeft voldaen voor Adams val,
En Godts gramschap connen stillen:
In t’lichaem van een Maghet reyn
Met ons sijn liefd’ hy heeft ghebonden,
Wy werden groot, en hy wert cleyn,
Wie sal de liefde Godts doorgronden?

Aimons celui qui voulut naistre
Tant seulement pour nous cherir,
Aimons qui dans ce val terrestre
(Pour nous aymer) voulut mourir.
Aimons, aimons, donc par echange,
Celui qui pour nous tant voulut,
Et embrassons tous sa louange,
Comme luy faict nostre salut.
