5. ECCE GRATUMA spring song ECCE GRATUMEcce gratum et optatum Ver reducit gaudia. purpuratum floret pratum. Sol serenat omnia. iamiam cedant tristia! Aestas redit, nunc recedit Hiemis saevitia. Iam liquescit et decrescit grando, nix et cetera. Bruma fugit, et iam sugit Ver Aestatis ubera. illi mens est misera, qui nec vivit, nec lascivit sub Aestatis dextera. Gloriantur et laetantur in melle dulcedinis qui conantur, ut utantur praemio Cupidinis. simus iussu Cypridis gloriantes et laetantes pares esse Paridis. Behold, the welcome and desirable Spring brings back joys. The brightly coloured meadow is in flower. The sun brightens everything. Now let sorrows depart! Summer returns, now the rage of Winter retires. Now hail, snow and the rest turn to water and flow away. Winter flees and already Spring sucks at the breasts of Summer. He bears an unhappy heart who neither lives nor plays under Summer's right hand. They who strive to enjoy the reward of Cupid rejoice and take pleasure in honey sweetness. Let us be at the command of the Cyprian (Venus), glorying and rejoicing to be the equals of Paris. |
