Amor animi halat.
Hearty affection breath's out.
Car.
Quod tibi dilecti sint proximus & Deus, insto,
Vestri quandò Animi suaviter halat amor.
Love, as the two Decalogue-objects due,
God, and our neighbour, will to both accrue;
For't scents so sweetly, thus exhal'd from you.
Vestri quandò Animi suaviter halat amor.
Love, as the two Decalogue-objects due,
God, and our neighbour, will to both accrue;
For't scents so sweetly, thus exhal'd from you.
O Ara miti in mala.
O sanctuary to the meek against troubles.
Car.
Improbus hic nullo, durusve potitur asylo,
In mala quum solum mitibus ara pates.
The lewd, and rude need not expect to share
In your Protection, when, 'gainst galling care,
A rampier to the meek you only are.
In mala quum solum mitibus ara pates.
The lewd, and rude need not expect to share
In your Protection, when, 'gainst galling care,
A rampier to the meek you only are.
At arma animi alo.
But I maintain the armour of the mind.
Car.
Exultent artes talem reperisse Patronam,
Quæ ferat, arma animi convenienter alo.
Let Arts exult, that they have found, in need,
Such noble Patroness, by name decreed
The working mind, in season, thus to feed.
Quæ ferat, arma animi convenienter alo.
Let Arts exult, that they have found, in need,
Such noble Patroness, by name decreed
The working mind, in season, thus to feed.
