Original text and translations

Italian text Uscite, uscite ninfe dalle più chiare e inargentate linfe ch'in vago seggio avete nel pian ch'il Tebro irriga altero e adorno; e vezzosette e liete, care danze menando e balli intorno, di Laura e di Florindo a gli aurei crini di gemme e di lapilli fregio onorato ordite, indi sfavilli col canto il nome e 'l pregio lor s'inchini.

English translation Leave, nymphs, go from your most clear and silvery streams, where you have your happy abode, onto the plain where the proud and graceful Tiber is watered; there, charming and joyful, leading dances and ballets all around, over the golden tresses of Laura and Florindo of gems and precious stones, weave an honored garland, that sparkles so that with song, their name and glory all may acclaim.
