Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

La virginella è simil’ alla rosa,
ch’in bel giardin sula nativa spina,
Mentre sola è sicura si riposa,
Ne gregge, ne pastor se le avicina:
L’aura soave & l’alba rugiadosa,
L’acqua, la terra, al s’uo favor s’inchina:
Giovani vaghi, e donn’ inamorate,
Amano haverne è seni e tempie ornate.

Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1535): Orlando Furioso, Canto 42

English.png English translation

The fayre yong Virgin is lyke the rose untaynted,
in garden fayre while tender stalke doth beare it,
sole and untoucht, with no resort acquainted,
No shepherd nor his flock doth once come neare it,
th’ayre full of sweetnesse, the morning fresh depainted,
the earth, the water, with all theyr favours cheare it,
daintie yong gallants, and ladyes most desired,
delight to have therewith their heads and breasts attyred.

as set by Byrd in Musica Transalpina (1588)
