Primo delectat, mox urit.
Mane recens orto Titan delectat Eoo,
Vrit at in medio cuncta calore die.

Apul.
Flamma sævi Amoris parvo quidem primo vapore delectat:
sed fomento consuetudinis exæstuans, immodicis ardoribus,
totos adurit homines.

Eerst lieflick, na pijnlick.
Ghelijck de Son verheught als hy eerst comt oprysen,
En in des middaeghs brant zijn hett' ons vā hem jaeght
De Liefd' oock me in 't eerst ons wonderlick behaeght,
Maer in zijn meesten brandt wy hem niet zeer en prysen.

Le peine suit le plaisir.
Le soleil nous plait mieux, quand premier il se leve,
Au chand du haut midy, ses rais sont trop cuisants:
Au naistre de l'Amour, ses feux sont bien plaisants:
Mais plus que l'Amour croist, plus sa flame nous greve.
