Langor amoris.

Cant. 2.
Fvlcite me floribus, stipate
me malis, quia amore lan-
gueo.[Bible

, Song of Solomon 2:5]

Gisler. in
Cant. c. 2.
Bonus certè languor, cùm in-
firmitas hæc non sit ad mor-
tem, sed ad vitam, vt glorifi-
cetur Deus per eam: cùm ar-
dor febrísve ista, non sit ab
igne consumente, sed ab igne
potiùs perficiente.

[141] ↓

Amore langueo.

Ie meur d’amour mon cher espoux.
Ie le sents bien a vostre poux.

[142] ↓

[blanco]

[143/Eiij] ↓

Langvevr d’amovr.

Ne croyez pas, chaste espouse que
seruent
Les beaux bouquets des fleurs (qui se
conferuent
A peine vn iour) pour vn mal eternel:
Ce medecin vous l’annonce incurable,
Et vostre poux d’vn battement durable
Dit que l’Amour est vn mal eternel.
