Original text and translations

Latin text

Stirpis Joannes Fiescorum gloria,
fautor Musarum et patrii fama,
decusque soli virtutum
omni genis cujus mens
rara superni numinis o bonitas,
dotibus aucta nitet.

Quod xenium his dignum
te vir generose calendis
ut digne exhilarem
teque tuosque feram
haud equidem quantum fuerit tibi
Musica cordi me latet
ergo meum Musica munus erit.
