Veris leta facies          The merry face of spring

mundo propinatur,       turns to the world,

hiemalis acies             sharp winter

victa iam fugatur,        now flees, vanquished;

in vestitu vario            bedecked in various colours

Flora principatur,         Flora reigns,

nemorum dulcisono      the harmony of the woods

que cantu celebratur.   praises her in song. Ah!

Flore fusus gremio       Lying in Flora's lap

Phebus novo more       Phoebus once more

risum dat, hac vario     smiles, now covered

iam stipate flore.         in many-coloured flowers,

Zephyrus nectareo       Zephyr breathes nectar-

spirans in odore.         scented breezes.
