Original text and translations

Italian text In un vago giardin di fiori adorno viddi leggiadr'e belle, Sol, Lun'ambe le stelle, Vener'e Flora far lieto soggiorno. Ivi le Grazi'e i pargolett'Amori, pei celesti costumi, angeliche armonie e dolci canti, dorati stral ne gl'infiammati cuori mandavan'a gli amanti con sì cari sembianti ch'esser parea lor tutt'in Paradiso, onde gridav'ogn'huom da se diviso: "O ben felic'e fortunato giorno!"

English text In a lovely flower-adorned garden I saw graceful and beautiful, Sun, Moon and both stars, Venus and Flora, have a happy stay. There the Graces and the Cupids, according to celestial customs, angelic harmonies and sweet songs, golden arrows in the inflamed hearts they sent to lovers with such cute looks which seemed to them to be all in Paradise, so that each human being individually shouted: "O happy and fortunate day!"
