AMOR DIVRNVS NOCTVRNVSQVE COMES.

P. Syr.
Quàm fidus Pylades Amor est noctuaque diuque!
Quàm turbat somnos saepè Cupido meos!
Somne quies rerum, placidißime somne Deorum,
Huc huc ad nostros lumnia verte lares.

Loue night and day attendant.

Loue alwayes doth attend the louer day and night,
For if hee sleep or wake still with him will hee bee,
Awake to him hee speakes, In dreames hee doth him see,
Repose enioyd of all, denyeth him delight.

Sempre punge.

Giorno e notte gl’ amanti l’Amor rode,
Gli turba la quiete, e il dolce sonno,
Onde gl’afflitti respirar non ponno.
Il ben commun l’amante sol non gode.

Nacht en dagh.

De Liefde quelt altijdt met pijnelick verseeren/
’t Zy ofmen slaept/ of waeckt/ hij vlijt ons al ontrent/
Des nachts als elck een rust in droom ons rust hy schent,
’t Gheen elck gheniet alleen een minnaer moet ontbeeren.

Nuit, & jour.

Amour incessament de nous geiner s’aduance,
Tant de nuit que de jour, il se tient pres de nous,
Et trouble du sommeil le repos le plus doux.
Seul du commun repos l’amant n’a iouissance.
