| <poem>
| |
| Who is Sylvia? What is she, | |
| That all our swains commend her?
| |
| Holy, fair and wise is she;
| |
| The heavens such grace did lend her,
| |
| That she might admiréd be.
| |
| | |
| Is she kind as she is fair?
| |
| For beauty lives with kindness.
| |
| Love doth to her eyes repair,
| |
| To help him of his blindness,
| |
| And being helped, inhabits there.
| |
| | |
| Then to Sylvia let us sing,
| |
| That Sylvia is excelling;
| |
| She excels each mortal thing
| |
| Upon the dull earth dwelling;
| |
| To her let us garlands bring.

| |
| Was ist Sylvia, saget an,
| |
| daß sie die weite Flur preist?
| |
| Schön und zart seh ich sie nah'n,
| |
| auf Himmelsgunst und Spur weist,
| |
| daß ihr alles untertan.
| |
| | |
| Ist sie schön und gut dazu?
| |
| Reiz labt wie milde Kindheit;
| |
| ihrem Aug' eilt Amor zu,
| |
| dort heilt er seine Blindheit
| |
| und verweilt in süßer Ruh.
| |
| | |
| Darum Sylvia, tön, o Sang,
| |
| der holden Sylvia Ehren;
| |
| jeden Reiz besiegt sie lang,
| |
| den Erde kann gewähren:
| |
| Kränze ihr und Saitenklang!

| |
| Chi è mai Sylvia che i pastori
| |
| vanno a gara ad esaltarla?
| |
| É bella, santa e saggia,
| |
| il cielo la adornò di tante grazie
| |
| che può ben essere ammirata.
| |
| | |
| E' gentile quanto bella?
| |
| Perché la bellezza vive con la gentilezza.
| |
| L'amore si rifugia nei suoi occhi
| |
| per guarire dalla sua cecità
| |
| e guarito vi dimora.
| |
| | |
| Quindi cantiamo a Sylvia
| |
| che Sylvia supera ogni cosa.
| |
| Supera ogni cosa mortale
| |
| sulla grigia dimora terrestre.
| |
| Portiamole ghirlande!

| |
| Wie is Silvia, waarvandaan
| |
| Dat iedereen haar lofprijst?
| |
| Mooi en lief komt zij daar aan.
| |
| Op gunst van 't hemels hof wijst
| |
| Dat men haar vereert spontaan.
| |
| | |
| Is zij mooi en ook nog goed?
| |
| Zoiets kweekt welgezindheid;
| |
| Zie, hoe Amor naar haar oog zich spoedt,
| |
| Zich daar geneest van blindheid
| |
| En zijn intrek neemt voorgoed.
| |
| | |
| Dus voor Silvia zingen wij,
| |
| Wij willen Silvia eren,
| |
| Ieder schepsel overtreft zij;
| |
| Zij moet wel triomferen.
| |
| Roem voor haar, dat brengen wij!

| |
| Dime qué es, Silvia,
| |
| ¿cómo es que los anchos prados te alaban?
| |
| Bella y maravillosa te veo, siempre cerca,
| |
| Es una señal de los favores del Cielo,
| |
| Que se subyugan a ella.
| |
| | |
| ¿Es ella a la vez bello y bueno?
| |
| Su encanto refresca con la gentileza de un niño],
| |
| Cupido vive en sus ojos,
| |
| Allí se cura de su ceguera
| |
| Y permanece en una dulce calma.
| |
| | |
| Entonces, para Silvia resuena una canción,
| |
| Para gloria de la preciosa Silvia,
| |
| Cada encanto le pertenece hace mucho,
| |
| La Tierra nos lo puede decir,
| |
| ¡Para ella los ramos y coronas de flores!
