Remedio de Amor.
SONETO.
Para que d’el Amor no seas vençido,
Ni echizo en tu razon dañarte pueda,
La Motacilla asienta en una rueda, [M]
Su cuerpo en quatro partes repartido:

De modo que haga cruz con el tendido
Cuello, alas, cola, estando firme y queda:[1]
Con esto en tu razon segura y leda
De echizo ni de Amor seras herido.
Con tal sello de Venus a’l prudente
Jason ya vimos de
Medęa librado,
Por se mostrar con ella tan valiente:[2]
Y ansi el que fuere à tal remedio usado
Jamas podrà sentir en si accidente
De que a’l momento no estè remediado.

1. These lines describe the rhombos, a device used in casting love-spells. The bird usually employed was a wryneck, associated with Bacchus, possibly because of its dappled markings. (Cf. the dappled fawns associated with the god.) The wagtail seems to have been confused with the wryneck in folk belief.
2. Jason was helped in the tasks imposed on him by the king of Phasis, by the sorceress Medea, daughter of the king. Instructed by Venus, Jason used the rhombos to cause Medea to fall in love with him and so use her spells to help, not harm, him. See Pindar, Pythian Odes 4.216ff.

Le Riche nonsavant.
Phrixus monté sur le mouton doré
Passe la mer joyeux, & asseuré.
D. Qui est celluy? R. Ung riche homme follet,
Qu’a son plaisir conduict femme, ou valet.[1]
La Poesie dit que l’enfant Phrixus passa la mer Hel
lespontique sur ung mouton à toison d’or, qui le por-
toit à son vouloir. Le mouton est la plus simple,
& sotte
beste du monde: mais ayant bonne robe,
& bien vestu.
L’or denote richesse, l’enfant jeunesse, & service. Par-
quoy Phrixus porté par la mer sur ung mouton d’or,
represente la femme, ou le
serviteur qui gouverne à
sa volunté, son mary ou son seigneur, sot & riche.
1. For the story of Phrixus and the Golden Fleece see Ovid, Fastii 3.851ff.
