Incipit Liber Secundus.
[Sidenote: [ENVY.]]
i. _Inuidie culpa magis est attrita dolore,_
_Nam sua mens nullo tempore leta manet:_
_Quo gaudent alii, dolet ille, nec vnus amicus_
_Est, cui de puro comoda velle facit._
_Proximitatis honor sua corda veretur, et omnis_
_Est sibi leticia sic aliena dolor._
_Hoc etenim vicium quam sepe repugnat amanti,_
_Non sibi, set reliquis, dum fauet ipsa Venus._
_Est amor ex proprio motu fantasticus, et que_
_Gaudia fert alius, credit obesse sibi._[536] (10)
