Dulces Amorum insidiæ [29]
Dulces Amorum insidiæ.
Ludendo capimur, bibimus ridendo venenum,
Atque jocos inter vincula miscet Amor.
Si timeas laqueos, & si te vincula terrent,
Terreat & lusus luctaque; liber eris.
Atque jocos inter vincula miscet Amor.
Si timeas laqueos, & si te vincula terrent,
Terreat & lusus luctaque; liber eris.
Al spelende.
Van 't dertel Venus kindt seer zoet zo zijn de laghen,
Al jockend' in den strick brenght hy ons onbedacht.
Gevangen werdt men meest, als men het minst verwacht.
Met Liefde niet en speelt, wilt ghy zijn jock niet dragen.
Al jockend' in den strick brenght hy ons onbedacht.
Gevangen werdt men meest, als men het minst verwacht.
Met Liefde niet en speelt, wilt ghy zijn jock niet dragen.
En jouant,
He! que de Cupidon secrete est l'embuscade,
En jouant dans ses lacqs il nous scait arrester.
Plus le peril est grand, moins il nous fait douter.
Celuy qui craint ses traits, fuye tel camerade.
En jouant dans ses lacqs il nous scait arrester.
Plus le peril est grand, moins il nous fait douter.
Celuy qui craint ses traits, fuye tel camerade.
