Potentissimus affectus Amor.
Love, the all-powerful emotion
Aspice ut invictus vires auriga leonis
Expressus gemma pusio vincat Amor.
Utque manu hac scuticam teneat, hac flectat habenas,
Utque sit in pueri plurimus ore decor.[1]
Dira lues procul esto, feram qui vincere talem
Est potis, à nobis temperet an ne manus? [2]
Look - here’s Love the lad, carved on a gem. See how he rides triumphant in his chariot and subdues the lion’s might. How in one hand he holds a lash, with the other he guides the reins, and on his countenance rests the loveliness of youth. - Dread pestilence keep far away. Would one who has the power to conquer such a beast keep his hands from us?

CONCORDIA.
Esempio della
Concordia.
CONCORD.
An example of Concord.
Di stabile Concordia esempio e segno
Son le Cornachie, e mai
non rompon fede.
Quinci guardan lo scetro; perche un regno
Per
Concordia s’accresce
e ha fermo piede.
Ma s’ella
manca, privo di sostegno.
La sua ruina in picciol tempo vede.
Che la discordia in lui movendo
l’ale,
Tanto abbatte e distrugge, quanto assale.
