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.

Nello studioso preso d’Amore.
On the scholar, caught up by Love.
Il leggista, che sempre haveva
il core
In varii studi involto;
Hor tutto è dato in servitù d’Amore;
Ne difender si puo poco ne molto.
Cosi Venere appresso ogni intelletto
Pallade vince, e’l
mondo fa soggetto.
