Original text and translations

Italian text Vatene lieta homai, coppia d'amici, va', ti scorgi il destino a guidar i tuoi dì lieti e(t) felici! Giove ti presti securo il camino, col ti rend'i feri venti amici, e gl'influxi nemici Vener discacci, e con il ciel benigno te n'aporti anchora, a chi t'ama et adora.

English translation Happily now go, couple of friends, go, may Fate escort you and guide you through happy and cheerful days! May Jupiter offer you safe passage, through it may he turn hostile winds into friendly; May Venus push away adverse currents; and may she bring Heaven's kindness to you and to those who love and adore you. Translation by Campelli
