Pectus meum Amoris scopus [44]
Pectus meum Amoris scopus.
Hic scopus est, cunctas huc verte, Cupido, sagittas;
Nam patet in vulnus pectus inerme meum.
Non tot jejunus Tityo dat vulnera vultur,
Quot tua visceribus tela dedere meis.
Nam patet in vulnus pectus inerme meum.
Non tot jejunus Tityo dat vulnera vultur,
Quot tua visceribus tela dedere meis.
Mijn hert Cupidoos wit.
Mijn borst eylaes is 't wit, daer in Cupido crachtich
Ghestadelicken treft, gheen ander wit hy schiet,
Seer selden houdt hy op, d'een scheut wacht d'ander niet.
Zijn glory door dit feyt hout hy voor groot en machtich.
Ghestadelicken treft, gheen ander wit hy schiet,
Seer selden houdt hy op, d'een scheut wacht d'ander niet.
Zijn glory door dit feyt hout hy voor groot en machtich.
Mon cœur le but d'Amour.
Mon cœur est le vray but, ou l'enfant archer vise,
Il ne fait que tirer, l'un trait l'autre n'attend,
Mes poings liez au mur immobile il me rend,
Et en toute façon mon courage maistrise.
Il ne fait que tirer, l'un trait l'autre n'attend,
Mes poings liez au mur immobile il me rend,
Et en toute façon mon courage maistrise.
