Translations
 |
Jaloezie is de schaduw van de liefde. |
 |
Envy is the shadow of love. |
|
Cupido juicht opgetogen en juicht iets wat door hem wordt bemind, toe, zonder te beseffen dat jaloezie hem als een schaduw
volgt. Elke Liefde brengt met zich mee dat als hij openlijk is, de afgunst brandt, maar wanneer hij verborgen blijft, de Liefde
vrij is van jaloezie. |
|
Cupid cheerfully exults and applauds something that is loved by him, without knowing that envy is following him like a shadow.
Each Love has [is connected with] this, that when it is overt, envy is burning, but when it is kept secret, Love is safe from
envy. |
