Dori à quest’ombre e l’aura,
A questi prati la rugiada e’l sole,
Ch’I gigli e le viole
A l’herbe e i rami e i frutti orna e ristaura,
A lei dunque s’inchini,
E sue bellezze honori,
Ch’I suoi luni divini
Gode, e cantin per lei ninfe e pastori,
Viva la bella Dori.

English.png English translation

In this shade Dori is the breeze,
in these meadows she is the dew and the sun,
that decks and revives the lilies and the violets,
the grass and the branches and the fruits.
Therefore, let he, who enjoys
the light from her divine eyes,
bow to her and honor her beauties,
and for her let nymphs and shepherds sing:
“Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch.png Dutch translation

In deze schaduw is Dori de bries,
in deze weiden is zij de dauw en de zon
die de lelies en de viooltjes laat groeien,
en ook het gras en de takken en het fruit.
Daarom, ieder die geniet van het licht
van haar goddelijke ogen,
buig voor haar en eer haar schoonheid,
en zing met nimfen en herders:
"Leve de schone Dori!"
