Par tout on sent les espines poignantes,
Et ne peut nul, fors Dieu, les amortir:
Mais dans le lict sont plus qu’ailleurs piquantes:
Car de plus pres elles se font sentir.
Parler en peut, & au vray, sans mentir,
Qui a gousté que vaut affliction:
Mais ceste-ci fait le coeur hors partir,
Quand pour amour on rend oppression.

PATIENTIA VINCIT OMNIA
Patience/Endurance conquers all
c.
Undique discordes animi, discordia toto
Orbe viget, lato, veh, nimis imperio:
Sed nusquam mage obest, thalamo quam fixa jugali,
Hic ubi perpetuum vivere debet Amor.
Everywhere, minds are in disagreement; disagreement flourishes throughout the world, alas! too widely over the breadth of the kingdom: but nowhere is it more harmful than in the marriage bed, here where eternal Love ought to live.
