Crescit spirantibus auris [43]
Crescit spirantibus auris.
Sumit flamma novas Boreæ
spiramine vires:
Si Domina aspiret, sumam & ipse novas.
Aspira ergo meis facilis conatibus, addat
Aura serenantis plena favoris opem.

Door jonste cracht.
De vlamme grooter wort door 't waeyen van de winden
Door 't lieffelick gheblaes van jonste werdt verblijdt
Des minnaers hert en geest, wiens brant vermeert altijdt.
De Liefde zonder jonst can qualick wasdom vinden.

Faveur accroist.
Le vent accroist du feu la flamme par sa force:
Cupidon se nourrit par gratieux devis,
Par le jet d'un œil doux, par un petit soubris.
Le souffle des faveurs le feu d'Amour amorce.
Cupidon se nourrit par gratieux devis,
Par le jet d'un œil doux, par un petit soubris.
