Original text and translations
English text
Hence stars, too dim of light,
you dazzle but the sight,
you teach to grope by night.
See here the shepherds star,
excelling you so far,
Then Phoebus wiped his eyes,
and Zeph'rus cleared the Skies,
in sweet accented cries.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,
Long live fair Oriana.
