POTENTIA AMORIS.
The power of Love
Nudus amor viden ut ridet placidumque tuetur?
Nec faculas nec quae cornua flectat habet.[1]
Altera sed manuum flores gerit altera piscem,
Scilicet & terrae iura dat atque mari.[2]
Do you see how Love, all naked, smiles, do you see his gentle glance? He has no torches, nor a bow to bend, but in one of his hands he holds flowers, in the other a fish, and he imposes his rule, of course, on land and sea.

Viendo el ligero Amor a’l muy ligero
Rayo, para mostrar como à su fuego
No ay fuego ygual, quebrole de
ligero.[1]
