AMOUR
Amour trespuissante affection.
APODEIXE.
Regarde Amour enfant, en gemme estant,
Au char tirer fors Lyons soubzmettant,
Tenant la bride en main, le foet au poing?
Comme en l’enfant est grand beaulté? Soit loing
Ce mal qui faict tel brut obtemperer:
Ses mains de nous pourroit il temperer?[1]
L’homme doibt fuyr amour, par l’exemple des be-
stes qui en deviennent enragées, mesme le Lyon.
Notes:
1. This 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.
