SINE CERERE, & BACCHO
FRIGET VENUS.
VENUS STAYS FRIGID WITHOUT BACCHUS AND CERES
Liber,[1] & alma Ceres Venerem comitantur utrinque
Aureáque altari stat Venus in medio.
Δημήτρ’ εἲς βίον ἐστὶν Αμαλθείας[2] κέρας αἰγὸς.
Και σταφύλη Βάκχῳ κληματικὴ Βρομίῳ[3]
Scilicet id signum quod ibi Venus est: ubi abundat
Copia magna cibi, copia magna meri.
Spumat enim fervente mero de ventre libido,
Atque cibo. sine quêis languet, & alget iners.
Liber and nourishing Ceres accompany Venus one to each side, and Venus stands between them on a golden altar. DEMETER HAS FOR SUSTENANCE THE HORN OF THE AMALTHEIA GOAT AND BACCHUS BROMIUS THE BUNCH OF THE VINE. This, you should know, is a sign that Venus is wherever there is a great supply of food and a great supply of wine. For lust froths upward out of the belly as the wine and food boils. Without them, it languishes and falls frigid.
