TranslationRose-mallow of beauty, the noble flower.Marguerite whiter than any swan. wherefore Jupiter married her, the precious vine. through his valour, in Engaddy: the sweetness of Spring she shows to all in order to delight the heart which preserves true love. Gladdened is whoever looks on her. In her shining face is all the happy release. Pleasure, Perfume, very mild Propriety. for Nature put strength into bringing her forth; when she formed her, there she retained her straight rule. her honest speech, compass, yardstick and pleasing circular [turner's instrument. in her elegant body, straight as a spear and javelin: gladdened is whoever looks on her. May the humble one protect her sweet fame, her bearing; none could tell her noble worth, her singular quality; nor can her colour fade through cold weather which comes round. All good things are set in order in her in perfect balance. Be it early, evening, morning, late of hour. gladdened is whoever looks on her. Text revision and translation © Robyn Smith |
