Inconcussa fide [19]
Inconcussa fide.
Oprecht.
De Liefd' in al zijn doen en kan hem gheensins veynsen,
Zijn hart leyt op zijn tongh, onsichtlick hy noyt gingh,
Als Gyges, die zulcks deed' door kracht van zynen ringh.
De Liefd' en laet niet toe te decken de ghepeynsen.
Zijn hart leyt op zijn tongh, onsichtlick hy noyt gingh,
Als Gyges, die zulcks deed' door kracht van zynen ringh.
De Liefd' en laet niet toe te decken de ghepeynsen.
Sincere.
Cupidon est ouvert de fait & de harangue;
Aussi d'un faux visage il ne cache son cœur,
Comme faisoit Gyges par son anneau trompeur.
Amour feindre ne peut, son cœur est sur sa langue.
Aussi d'un faux visage il ne cache son cœur,
Comme faisoit Gyges par son anneau trompeur.
Amour feindre ne peut, son cœur est sur sa langue.
