Original text and translations

Italian text Dove sorge piacevole, Sebeto e dilettevole, V’è un bel ricetto ch’alte Piant’adombrano, E da cor mesti ogni gran noia sgombrano, Quivi lieta sedea fra l’herbe tenere. Gente amica di Venere, Ch’in quest’ accenti allegri a voce varia, Facea risonar l’aria, Cantiam ninfe e pastori, Viva la bella Dori.

English translation Where the Sebethos rises pleasantly and delightfully, there is a wonderful sanctuary shaded by tall trees, which banish every dull care from woeful hearts. Here among the tender plants happily sat the friends of Venus, who in these happy verses in various voices made the air resound. Let us sing, nymphs and shepherds: “Long live fair Dori!”.

Dutch translation Waar de Sebeto aangenaam en verrukkelijk ontspringt, daar is een mooie schutplaats in de schaduw van hoge bomen, waar alle hartepijn verdwijnt. Hier zaten, tussen het tere gewas, de gelukkige vrienden van Venus, die in luchtige klanken met alle stemmen de lucht lieten weerschallen: "Laat ons zingen, nimfen en herders, Lang leve de schone Dori!"
