Dum Dianae vitrea
Language: Latin
Our translations: ENG
Dum Dianae vitrea Sero lampas oritur Et a fratris rosea Luce dum succenditur, Dulcis aura Zephyri Spirans omnes aetheri Nubes tollit ; Sic emollit Vi chordarum pectora, Et immutat Cor quod nutat Ad amoris pignora. Laetum iubar hesperi Gratiorem Dat humorem Roris soporiferi Mortalium generi. O quam felix est Antidotum soporis, Quod curarum tempestates Sedat et doloris ! Dum surrepit clausis Oculorum poris, Gaudio aequiparat Dulcedini amoris. Morpheus in mentem Trahit impellentem Ventum lenem Segetes maturas, Murmura rivorum Per arenas puras, Circulares ambitus Molendinorum, Qui furantur somno Lumen oculorum.
