Qu’el Amor es affecto potentissimo.
SONETO.
La fuerça del leon tiene vencida
Amor si no es de amor jamas vencido,
Que à solo amor ser quiso Amor rendido
A quien no ay cosa que no esté rendida.

La rienda tiene en la siniestra assida,
Y el latigo en la diestra
està esculpido,
Con este, el apetito es compelido,
Y la razon de aquella està opprimida.
Quien ternà el coraçon a’l sentimiento
Tan echo que no tema aqueste fuego
En ver dar á un leon tan gran tormento?
Dichoso aquel que á tal mal hallò luego
Remedio para echar d’l pensamiento
La pęna de tan gran
desasosiego.[1]
1. The original Latin emblem is a translation of Anthologia graeca 9.221, an epigram about a seal carved with a representation of Eros driving a chariot drawn by lions. The theme is further developed here.
