Fit Amor violentior a vi [60]
Fit Amor violentior a vi.
En, frustra fortuna facem remoratur Amoris,
Nam ferus est, alis fallit & ille moras;
Atque retenti instar violentius æstuat amnis.
Sic fit & a remoris plus furiosus amans.

Bedwonghen stercker.
Als eenigh dingh den loop des waters wil beletten,
't Zal maken groot ghetier, daer 't anders vloeyde stil:
Zoo de fortuyn of yet de Liefd' verhind'ren wil,
Hy gaet met meer gewelts zijn cracht daer tegen setten.

Forcé
plus fort.
Le paisible ruisseau, du quel le cours se force,
Roule avec un grand bruit; aussi lors que le sort
Se peine d'arrester d'Amour le doux effort,
Il accroist sa puissance, & son fallot amorce.
