Latin text
Artifex mirus es aeterne Deus
Tu cardines coelorum solidasti
Tu mumen fulgens tribuisti
Soli & Lunae cursum circum terrae globum
Tu Iridem formasti discolorem.
Per te facti sunt rores & pruinae
Terra gramine per te conuestitur
Labuntur aquae montibus o pacis.
Italian text
Erano i capei d’oro a l’aura sparsi
Che’n mille dolci nodi gl’avolgea
E’l vago lume oltra misura ardea
Di quai begl’occhi c’hor ne son si scarsi ;
E’l viso di pietosi color farsi
Non so se vero o falso mi parea.
I’ che l’esca amorosa al petto havea
Qual meraviglia se di subit’arsi.
