Italian text

Questi odorati fiori,
Gialli, persi, vermigli, azzurri e bianchi,
Ch’in sugl’estivi ardori
E freschi e dolci nidi,
Erano agl’Amoretti afflitti e stanchi;
Braman, Donna Real, aver ricetto
Sotto il bel vel che vi nasconde il petto.

English translation

These fragrant flowers,
yellow, peach, red, blue and white,
that in the heat of summer
were a fresh and sweet resting place
for the lovelorn, weary Cupids;
They desire, noble Lady, to find haven
beneath the lovely veil that conceals your breast.
