Iae tot in den doodt.
Doet vry u best' mijn Lief, met duyzent pynen lastich,
Verbrant mijn in het vier van u verstoort ghemoet,
Ick en begeer geen wraeck, maer neem' het al in 't goet.
Want ware Liefd' alleen, blijft in den doodt stantvastich.

Ny mesme la mort.
Si la Dame a l'amant fait la guerre a outrance,
Voire que par son feu le contraigne mourir,
l'Amant ne s'en ressent, ains aime de souffrir.
l'Amour mesme en la mort ne manque de constance.
