Original text and translations

Latin text Deliciae Phoebi, musarum pulcher alumne, perpetuum nectar cujus ab ore fluit, concentu triplici qui homines das esse beatos: forma oculos aures voce animosque animo qui soavi potes aspectu erexisse acentes et nutu eripere quos ferus orcus habet. Musarum famulum ne despisce sustine Lassum: unde tibi haec numeris flicta tabella venit.

English translation Delight of Phoebus, beautiful pupil of the Muses, whose mouth flows ever with nectar, who blesses men with triple harmony, the eyes by beauty, the ears by voice, the mind by mind, who, by a sweet appearance, could lift up the prostrate, and with a nod snatch away those whom wild hell holds, do not despise this servant of the Muses; sustain the weary one* who sends you this booklet composed in measures. *"Lassum" is a pun on Lasso's name
