Latin text

Formoso vermi formosa Camilla deorum
atque hominum fausto jungitur auspicio,
tu quatiens claro fulgentem lumine tedam,
o Hymen, o Hymenee.

Adsit amor ridensque ericina ac pronuba Juno,
sanctaque legitimi, paxque fidesque Thori,
adsint lete Charites, museque canentes,
o Hymen, o Hymenee.
