Amor æternus [1]
Nulla dies, tempusve potest dissolvere amorem,
Neve est, perpetuus sit nisi, verus Amor,
Annulus hoc anguisque tibi curvatus in orbem,
Temporis æterni signa vetusta, notant.

Liefde is eewigh.
Van d'ouden door de slangh of trou-ringh sonder ende
Wert d'eewigheyt verstaen, die nimmermeer vergaet:
Oprechte Liefde vast in eewigheyt bestaet,
Die niet en wert beweeght door voorspoet noch ellende.

Amour est eternel.
Le cercle viperin l'eternité
nous marque,
Parquoy sans chef, sans bout se fait l'anneau nopcier:
l'Amour sis au milieu, dict, qu' il doibt estre entier
Et eternel, maugré la fortune & la Parque.
