Semper idem.
Plutarch.
Amica non est utendum, ut floribus; tam diu graitas,
quamdiu recentibus.

Altijd even schoon.
Bemindt niet, zo men acht de schoone blomkens cierigh,
Die zo langh zy zijn versch, men maer in eeren houdt:
Is u Liefs jeught verslenst, is zy jongh ofte oudt,
Hoe 't zy, versmaetse niet, maer toont u even vierigh.

Tousiours de mesme.
Il ne faut pas qu' Amour resemble a la fleur belle,
De laquelle on fait cas, tant qu' elle se flaistrit.
Que demeure a jamais Dame de ton esprit,
Qui or en son prim-temps de ses traits de pointelle.
