Ton nom que mon vers dira,
Tout le monde remplira
De ta louange notoire
Un tas qui chantent de toy
Ne sçavent si bien que moy
Comme il me faut sonner ta gloire.
Jupiter ayant mémoire
D’une vieille destinée
Autrefois determinée
Par l’oracle de Themis
A commandé que Florence
Dessous les loix de la Franche
Te courbe le chef soubmis.

Your name, of which my verse will speak

(Sung text translation for setting by P. Cléreau)

See original

Language: English after the French (Français)

Your name, of which my verse will speak,
The whole world will fill
With your manifest praise;
A mass who sing of you
Know not as well as I
How I must sound your glory.
Jupiter, remembering
An ancient fate
Once upon a time fixed
By the oracle of Themis,
Commanded that Florence
Beneath the laws of France
Would bend to you its submissive head.
