Facit occasio furem [28]
Facit occasio furem.
Oorsaeck doet stelen.
Die honghert by de spijs' can qualick t'eten laten,
Die by het water dorst, die wil daer drincken van:
De minnaer by zijn Lief hem qualick wachten can
Te blusschen zynen brandt van Liefde boven maten.
Die by het water dorst, die wil daer drincken van:

l'Occasion fait le larron.
l'Estomach affamé
n'espargne la viande,
La soif s'accroist a voir la fontaine saillir:
Qui trouve aupres de luy son cœur, ne peut faillir:
De prendre tout son soul de chose si friande.
