Wine, not too much, inspires and make the mind,to the soft joys of Venus strong inclined,which, buried in excess, unapt to love,stupidly lies and knows not hom to move

Arte levis currus, arte regendus Amor.]
Fair Flora! Now attend thy sportful feast,
Of which some days I with design have past;
A part in April and a part in May

And as the confines of two months are thine
To sing of both the double task be mine.

[Lat., Scripta ferunt annos; scriptis Agamemnona nosti,
Et quisquis contra vel simul arma tulit.]
The wounded limb shrinks from the slightest touch; and a slight shadow alarms the nervous.
[Lat., Membra reformidant mollem quoque saucia tactum:
Vanaque sollicitis incutit umbra metum.]
