In eum qui truculentia suorum perierit.
On one who perished through the savagery of his own people.
LXXV.
Delphinem invitum me in littora compulit aestus,
Exemplum infido quanta pericla mari.
Nam si nec propriis Neptunus parcit alumnis,
Quis tutos homines navibus esse putet?[1]
I am a dolphin whom the tide drove ashore against my will, an example showing what great dangers there are in the treacherous sea. For if Neptune does not spare even his own nurslings, who can think that men are safe in ships?

A cil qui a mal par les siens.
LXXV.
Je Daulphin de la Mer natif,
Ayant prins en elle substance,
Ne pensoye point estre aprentif,
En son amour & accointance:
Or sens je ores son inconstance,
Gisant au soleil sur la greve.
Ce n’est doncq’ estrange sentence,
Quand la faulce Mer l’homme griefve.

Krafft der Lieb.
LXXIII.
Der klain Cupido einen plitz
Mit seinem pfeyl und fewr zerspalt:
Soelchs weyst, das Lieb hat so groß hitz,
Das im wider stat kain gewalt:
Es sey ein mensch jung oder alt,
So im der knab ungnedig ist,
Bethort und nart in gar bald,
Und darfur hilfft kain macht, noch list.
