Original text and translations

Latin text

Nectar et ambrosiam tibi Princeps inclitae vitae
    Astreae studium pacis amorque ferunt.
Tu carus populo, tu summis gratus et imis
    es, candor morum hoc, integritasque facit.
Vive igitur felix vive usque ad nestoris annos
    Orlandi hoc optat musa canora tibi.
