Alli illustri Signori Fiamenghi

Dite, Signori miei, qual speranza v’invita
A far d’Italia subita partita?
  Amor, debito et fede ci invitano a partire,
  Ben che qui dolce è’l viver e’l morire.
Dite perché n’andate longe dal bel terreno,
Che parv’ al buon Troian si dolce e ameno?
  Perché quel gran FILIPPO, ch’invitto regn’ et vive,
  Ne’ invit’ et chiama a le paterne rive.
 

German.png German translation

An die edlen flämischen Herren

Sagt, meine Herren, welche Hoffnung bewegt euch,
von Italien so plötzlich Abschied zu nehmen?
  Die Liebe, die Pflicht und die Treue bewegen uns zur Abreise,
  auch wenn hier Leben und Sterben süß ist.
Sagt, warum reist ihr so weit weg von der schönen Gegend,
die einem guten Trojaner süß und angenehm erscheint?
  Weil jener große PHILIPP, der unbesiegt herrscht und lebt,
  uns einlädt und ruft zu den väterlichen Gefilden.
