Original text and translations

Italian text Di pastorali accenti Dolce sonava intorno, Un lieto colle al più lucente giorno, Ov’un drapel di ninfe in vaghi modi, Tessea ghirlande di leggiadri nodi, A suoi dolci concenti, Ardea l’aria d’Amor quand’i bel fiori, Donar volendo alla più bella Udio voce intonar del faretrato dio, Da cavi specchi fuori, Viva la bella Dori.

English translation A joyful hill was ringing sweetly all around with shepherds’ accents as the day shone bright, and there a troop of nymphs in charming guise wove garlands into dainty knots; at the troop’s sweet harmonies the air was all aflame with Cupid, when, as they sought to give fair flowers to the most fair, I heard the voice of the god who bears the quiver ring out from the hollow caverns: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Met pastorale klanken en lieflijke geluiden alom op een bekoorlijke heuvel op een stralende dag, weefden een groepje nimfen in fraaie kledij slingers met sierlijke knopen; op hun zoete harmonieën was de lucht geheel in vuur van Amor, toen, bij het uitreiken van mooie bloemen aan de mooiste, ik de stem hoorde roepen van de god die de pijlkoker draagt vanuit de holle grotten: "Leve de schone Dori!"
