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, fair foster son of the Muses,
whose mouth flows ever with nectar,
who gives it to men to be blessed with triple harmony,
the eyes by beauty, ears by voice, 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.
