Original text and translations
Italian text
God give you health, enjoyment and lot of money,
oh fortunate betrothed.
We have come here
just to see
a such graceful pair
that all the bell towers
are chiming for regata,
because it is hard to find
that kind of husbands and wives.
Now we believe to see Jupiter and Juno
standing on the balcony
in order to see this great bliss.
And indeed,
it is impossible to find anyone like you
in Venice, nor in Pavia.
Now may you remain happy,
Anzola my dear girl.
