Virgilius.
Ille fuga silvas saltusque peragrat,
Frustra: nam,
Hæret lateri lethalis arundo.
Propert.
Quo fugis, ah, demens? nulla est fuga: tu licet usque,
Ad Tanaim fugias, usque sequetur Amor.
Non si Pegaseo vecteris in aëra dorso,
Nec tibi si Persei moverit ala pedes.

t' Is te spade.
Vergeefs ghy minnaer vlucht in 't bosch verr' vā de liedē,
Ghy zijt niet wel bedacht, want niemant u en jaeght,
't Geen ghy t'ontloopen meent, ghy zelve met u draeght.
Niemant en kan zich self tot gheender tijdt ontvlieden.

c'Est trop tard.
Tout beau, tout bellement, ne fuis de telle sorte,
Helas, pauvre amoureux ayant la fleche au cœur;
Voy l'Amour que te suit, ou peux tu estre seur?
Car nul ne sort de toy, par tout soymesme il porte.
