Res immoderata Cupido est.
Prop.
Calcat Amor pede mensuram, atque domantio frena, hune
Nulla lupata modus, lex, retinacla movent.
Errat, qui finem vesani quærit Amoris.
Verus Amor nullum novit habere modum.

Amour n'a mesure.
Ny mesure, ny frein le Dieu d'Amour n'endure,
Nul lien, nulle loy, n'arrestera son vol,
Qu' il n'aille poursuivant tousiours son desir fol.
Le seul parfait Amour ne sçait point de mesure.
Nul lien, nulle loy, n'arrestera son vol,
