Incipit Liber Primus
[Sidenote: [LOVE RULES THE WORLD.]]
[Sidenote: =P. i. 41=]
i. _Naturatus amor nature legibus orbem_
_Subdit, et vnanimes concitat esse feras:_
_Huius enim mundi Princeps amor esse videtur,_
_Cuius eget diues, pauper et omnis ope._
_Sunt in agone pares amor et fortuna, que cecas_
_Plebis ad insidias vertit vterque rotas._
_Est amor egra salus, vexata quies, pius error,_
_Bellica pax, vulnus dulce, suaue malum._
