P. Syr. Amans, quod suspicatut, vigilans somniat.

Ovid.
Ante meos oculos præsto est tua semper imago,
Et videor vultus mente videre suos.

Terent.
Hi qui amant, ipsi sibi somnia fingunt.

't Droomen verheught.

De minnaers meestendeel hun droomen zelfs versieren,
Iae meenen dat hun lief comt voor hun bedde staen,
Casteelen in de locht zy dickwils bouwen gaen.
De Liefde droomen doet op veelderley manieren.

Songer esiouit.

l'Amoureux se flattant se forge des beaux songes,
Et pense ja d'avoir sa Dame a l'appetit.
En pleine mer il chasse, & en l'air il bastit.
l'Amant souvent se paist de plaisantes mensonges.
