Fortior est agitatus Amor [35]
Fortior est agitatus Amor.
Seneca.
Non est arbor fortis, nisi in quam ventus frequens incur-
sat: ipsa enim vexatione constringitur, & radices certiùs
figit.

Door quellinghe stercker.
Geen boom staet vast gheplant, dā
die van stercke winden
Zeer dickmaels is bestormt: geē Liefd' is kloeck van moedt,
Dan die wel heeft ghedaen zijn proef door teghenspoet.
Hoe vast de Liefde staet, men in den noodt zal vinden.

Par travail plus fort.
Le chesne s'affermit secoué
par l'orage:
Ainsi le vray Amour s'enroidit aux assauts
Des tristes desfaveurs, ferme contre tous maux,
Qui luy servent en fin d'un loyal tesmoignage.
