Vis Amoris.
Love’s might
Emblema cvii.
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.
EX quarto[2] Graecorum epigrammaton, quo signi-
ficatur amore strenuo nihil vehementius aut in-
superabilius, adeņ ut rebus ipsis quae violentissimae
putantur non cedat. Itaque Graecis nominatur
πανδαμάτως.

Force d’Amour.
CUpidon legier & prompt
La foudre casse & la rompt,
Comme la rendant en pouldre:
Un homme sage & accort
Sēet le feu d’amour plus fort
Que n’est celuy de la fouldre.
CEstuy est du quatriesme des epigram-
mes Grecs: par lequel est entendu qu’il
n’y a rien plus vehement ou invincible que
le courageux amour, de maniere qu’il ne ce-
de point aux choses mesmes que l’on estime
plus violentes & fortes ą ceste occasion les
Grecs l’ont nommé tout-vainqueur, ou sur-
monte-tout.
