Otto Vaenius, Amorum emblemata (1608)
Table of contents ↑Ad amussim [39]
Translations
 |
Nauwkeurig [Lineaal-recht]. |
 |
Accurately. |
|
Zoals de hand van de kunstenaar al zijn werken richt naar de loodlijn, zo doet ook een echte minnaar. Een echte minnaar zal
nooit van het directe pad afwijken en geheel van zijn meesteres afhangen en naar haar gericht hangen. |
|
Like the very hand of the artisan directs all his works to a plumb-line, so does a real lover. A real lover will never turn
from the right path hanging totally from and to his mistress. |
