(The merry face of spring)
Veris leta facies The merry face of spring
mundo propinatur, turns to the world,
hiemalis acies sharp winter
victa iam fugatur, now flees, vanquished;
in vestitu vario bedecked in various colours
Flora principatur, Flora reigns,
nemorum dulcisono the harmony of the woods
que cantu celebratur. praises her in song. Ah!
Flore fusus gremio Lying in Flora's lap
Phebus novo more Phoebus once more
risum dat, hac vario smiles, now covered
iam stipate flore. in many-coloured flowers,
Zephyrus nectareo Zephyr breathes nectar-
spirans in odore. scented breezes.
Certatim pro bravio Let us rush to compete
curramus in amore. for love's prize. Ah!
Cytharizat cantico In harp-like tones sings
dulcis Philomena, the sweet nightingale,
flore rident vario with many flowers
prata iam serena, the joyous meadows are laughing,
salit cetus avium a flock of birds rises up
silve per amena, through the pleasant forests,
chorus promit virgin the chorus of maidens
iam gaudia millena. already promises a thousand joys. Ah!
