Original text and translations
Latin text
Gemm(ul)a Carbunculi in ornamento auri,
et comparatio musicorum in convivio vini.
Sicut in fabricatione auri signum est Smaragdi,
sic numerus musicorum in iocundo et moderato vino.
English translation
A concert of music in a banquet of wine is as a carbuncle set in gold.
As a signet of an emerald in a work of gold: so is the melody of music with pleasant and moderate wine.
