Vis amoris.
Love’s might
Aligerum fulmen fregit Deus aliger, igne
Dum demonstrat uti est fortior ignis amor.[1]
The winged god has broken the winged thunderbolt, showing that there is a fire more powerful than fire - and that is Love.

Concordia insuperabilis.
Concord is insuperable
Tergeminos inter fuerat concordia fratres,
Tanta simul pietas mutua, & unus amor:
Invicti humanis ut viribus ampla tenerent
Regna, uno dicti nomine Geryonis.[1]
There was concord between triplet brothers, such mutual care, one love between them all; and so, unconquerable by human force, they held wide realms and were called by the one name of Geryones.
