5. “ El Grillo” (The Cricket)

6. El grillo è buon cantoreChe tienne longo verso.Dalle beve grillo cantaEl grillo è buon cantore.Ma non fa come gli altri uccelli,Come li han cantato un poco,Van' de fatto in altro locoSempre el grillo sta pur saldo.Quando la maggior è 'l caldoAl'hor canta sol per amore.El grillo è buon cantoreChe tienne longo verso.Dalle beve grillo canta.El grillo è buon cantore. The cricket is a good singerWho can hold a long line.Of drinking the cricket singsThe cricket is a good singer.But he doesn't do what birds do:After they've sung a bit,They go somewhere else;The cricket always stays put.And when the weather is hottestHe sings solely for love.The cricket is a good singerWho can hold a long line.Of drinking the cricket sings.The cricket is a good singer.

10. The Madrigal

16. As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending She spied a maiden queen the same ascending, Attended on by all the shepherd’s swain; To whom Diana’s darlings came running down amain. First two by two, then three by three together Leaving their Goddess all alone, hasted thither; And mingling with the shepherds of her train, With mirthful tunes her presence did entertain. Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana: Long live fair Oriana!!

19. Since Robin Hood, Maid Marian,And Little John are gone,The hobby horse was quite forgot,When Kemp did dance alone.He did labour after the tabor.For to dance then into France.He took pains to skip itIn hope of gains.He did trip it on the toe,Diddle diddle diddle doe.
