Gite, o giorni dolenti, che succedano al pianto gioie, allegrezze e canto, scherzi, vezzi e contenti. Fra le trombe di Marte e tra i rumor di strepitosa guerra dal ciel festoso parte e scende il nume delle nozze in. terra. Volano gl'imenei, corron gli amori di voi Giovi terreni a rallegrare i cori, a congiunger i seni. Vada con pie' fugace a rinserrarsi entr'un orrore eterno la discordia d'inferno e rieda omai la sospirata pace. Coronata di ulivo Astrea ritorni, che posi il mondo posi e fiera porti le rovine e le morti Megera ove di fede il mondo è privo. Felicissimi giorni di secoli migliori saran principi grati questi nodi beati. L'Austria all'Austria con questa amorosa vicenda saldamente s'innesta, onde la virtù renda colmi alfin di vittorie e di trofei gli austriaci Semidei. E quali aver mai lice di bella età felice argomenti più giusti che le Muse a gradir tornin gli Augusti?

Allez-vous-en, ô jours douloureux, que succèdent aux larmes joie, allégresse et chant, plaisanteries, grâces et contentement. Parmi les trompettes de Mars, et le bruit de la guerre qui fait rage du ciel en fête descend la déesse du mariage sur la terre. Hymen vole, les amours accourent, Dieux terrestres, pour réjouir vos cœurs, pour réunir vos âmes. Venez vite pour édifier dans une horreur éternelle, la discorde infernale, enfin la paix si désirée. Qu'Astrée soit couronnée d'olivier, que le monde dépose la cruauté, la ruine et la mort avec qui Mégère prive le monde de foi. Des jours joyeux d'un siècle meilleur seront les principes heureux de cette union bénie. L'Autriche à l'Autriche avec cette concorde d'amour solidement s'attachera, de là la vertu rendra force victoires et trophées aux demi-dieux autrichiens. Et pour exprimer ce bel âge heureux quel sujet serait plus juste que les Muses pour honorer les Auguste ?
