Original text and translations

Italian text Quanto sia lieto il giorno nel qual le cose antiche son or da voi dimostra e celebrate: Si vede perché intorno, tutte le genti amiche si son' in questa parte radunate: noi che la nostra etate ne' boschi, e nelle selve consumiamo venuti ancor qui siamo io ninfa e noi pastori e giam cantando insieme i nostri amori.

English translation How happy is the day in which ancient things are now by you shown and celebrated: One sees because around us, all friendly people are assembled here: We who spend our lives in these woodlands and groves, have also come here, I, nymph, and we, shepherds, and we sing together of our loves. Translation by Allen Garvin
