Amor addocet artes [27]
Amor addocet artes.
Ingeniosus Amor varias nos edocet artes;
Rebus nosque habiles omnibus ille facit.
Illius invento concordant carmina nervis:
Molliaqué Alcides pensa trahebat heræ.
Rebus nosque habiles omnibus ille facit.

Liefde leert alles.
Cupido op de maet de minnaers wel leert singhen,
En Hercules vermaert hy 't spinnen leeren kond,
Van alle consten eel, Cupido d'oorsaeck vond.
De Liefde maeckt den mensch bequaem tot alle dingen.

Amour bon maistre.
l'Amour monstre
à
l'Amant la musique gentile,
Comme il apprint jadis Hercules a filer,
Luy seul scait par ses arts nostre esprit affiler,
Or que lourd & grossier, & le rendre docile.
