Original text and translations

Italian text Ecco Maggio seren, chi l'ha vestito Di si bel verd' e giallo? Ninfe e pastori al ballo, Al ballo Ninfe e Dii per ogni lito; Ecco Maggio fiorito: Lice, al ballo, e tu Clori, Gratie al ballo, al ballo Aure, al ballo Amori.

English translation Behold cloudless May, who has dressed her In such lovely green and yellow? Nymphs and shepherds, to the dance, To the dance Nymphs and Gods along every shore; Behold May in flower: To the dance, Lice, and you Cloris, Graces, to the dance, to the dance, Breezes, to the dance, Cherubs
