Original text and translations

Italian text All’ombra d’un bel faggio, Pastori e ninfe in s’una verde riva, Tempravano del sol l’ardente raggio, E sonando e danzando, Ciascun giva d’amor dolce cantando, E risonar s’udiva, Tra le frondi de’mirti e de gl’allori, Viva le bella Dori.

English translation In the shade of a beautiful beechwood tree, shepherds and nymphs on a verdant shore tempered the sun’s burning rays, and while playing and dancing each one, touched and singing sweetly of love, could be heard resounding through the leaves of myrtle and laurel: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation In de schaduw van een mooie beuk zitten herders en ninfen op een groene oever, beschermd voor de brandende zonnestralen, en terwijl zij speelden en dansten liet eenieder, zoetelijk zingend over liefde, door de bladeren van bessen en laurier weerklinken: "Leve de schone Dori!"
