Officit offico [49]
Officit officio.
Æstuo nec flammas potis est restinguere nimbus,
At flammæ vires adjicit unda novas.
Quæ metamorphosis? mihi sunt midicamina virus,
Et mea per densas flamma favillat aquas.
At flammæ vires adjicit unda novas.
Quæ metamorphosis? mihi sunt midicamina virus,
Et mea per densas flamma favillat aquas.

Geen water bluscht mijn brant, maer meerder doet ontsteken,
Cupido met zijn vier het water vlammen doet:
Hoe can ghenesen dan mijn dorstigh cranck ghemoedt,
Als 't gheen dat helpen zou, verargert mijn ghebreken?

Secours me nuit.
La pluye ny le vent ne nous peut rendre esteinte
La flame de l'Amour, ains nourrit son brandon.
Quel espoir de trouver a mon mal guerison?
La medecine accroist la cause de ma plainte.

Quel espoir de trouver a mon mal guerison?
