Original text and translations

Italian text Quando ridente e bella più vaga d'ogni stella mi si mostra Licori, e seco scherzan lascivetti Amori, tutto gioisco, e sì di gioia abbondo che de la gioia mia gioisce il mondo.

English translation When, laughing and beautiful, prettier than any star, Licori shows herself to me, and lustful Cupids play with her, I wholly rejoice, and am filled with such abundant joy that, at my joy, the world itself rejoices. Translation by Campelli
