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.

Force damour.
Le feu damour vainct la tempeste.
Il nest feu qui tant dardeur face.
Car quand quelqung la en la teste,
Il ard au cueur, et en la face.
Juppiter qui la fouldre brasse,
Nen fait point de telle vigueur:
Voire, si luy mesmes lembrasse,
Il sen brusle, & souffre langueur.
