Italian text
Torquato Tasso

Vezzosi augelli infra le verdi fronde
Temprano a prova lascivette note
Mormora l’aura, e fa le foglie e l’onde
Garrir, che variamente ella percote
Quando taccion gli augelli, alto risponde;
Quando cantan gli augei, più lieve scote.
Sia caso o d'arte, or accompagna, ed ora
Alterna i versi lor la musica ora.

English translation
by Edmund Spenser (1552–1599)

The joyous birds hid under greenwood shade
Sung merry notes on every branch and bough;
The wind, that in the leaves and waters played,
With murmurs sweet now sung, and whistled now.
Ceased the birds, the winds loud answer made,
And while they sang, it rumbled soft and low;
Thus were it hap or cunning, chance or art
The wind in this strange music bore its part.
