Amor Volat [English translation]

Love flies from everywhere;

it is seized with heart's desire.

Boys and girls

follow each other with reason

when they are without a partner.

Love takes everything,

transforms the heart's innermost being,

Love seeks paths untraveled.

Love is sweeter than honey,

makes more bitter than gall.

Love is natural and wise;

red is love, and in love;

tempestuous in everything,

love is conciliatory,

constant and fluctuating.

Love dominates the youths,

Love seizes the virgins.

Frosty and boiling

never your ally!

It sleeps in sorrow

is of cold character;

in no way indifferent to you.
