Original text and translations

English text

Apollo, high our souls inspire
With Orphean melody and fire;
In soft harmonious, soothing strains
Assuage the lover's tort'ring pains.
Infuse, great god, a fav'rite son,
With sounds Calliope was won.
Then may we offer at thy shrine
Another Orpheus still divine,
Whose charming tones shall music raise
Far above all earthly praise.
