Non qua, sed quo [20]
Non qua, sed quo.
Niet langs wat wech, maer waer.
De strenghe stroomen, noch de overvvoeste stemmen
Des grouvvelijcke vvints, verzaagt geē trouvv gemoet:
Leander gingh by nacht door 't holle vvater svvemmen,
Om het ghezelschap van zijn schoone Hero zoet.
Des grouvvelijcke vvints, verzaagt geē trouvv gemoet:
Leander gingh by nacht door 't holle vvater svvemmen,
Om het ghezelschap van zijn schoone Hero zoet.
E che non puote Amore.
Y at il ici bas aucun cas impossible,
Qu'un constant amoureux n'oseroit hazarder?
Leandre par sa mort vous le fait contempler.
Qui dedaigna l'effort d'une tempeste horrible:
C'est ainsi que l'Amour enhardit ses soudarts,
A combatre vaillans la mort en toutes parts.
Qu'un constant amoureux n'oseroit hazarder?
Leandre par sa mort vous le fait contempler.
Qui dedaigna l'effort d'une tempeste horrible:
C'est ainsi que l'Amour enhardit ses soudarts,
A combatre vaillans la mort en toutes parts.
Translations

Not the method, but where. |
|
Young men do not exert themselves finding out in what way one approaches a maiden. Their only thoughts are about where to do this and how worthy she is to be wooed even cross the sea. |
