Hark, all ye lovely saints above
Language: English 
Available translation(s): SPA
Hark, all ye lovely saints above 
Diana hath agreed with Love, 
his fiery weapen to remove.  
Do you not sea how they agree?  
Then cease, fair ladies; 
why weep ye?

See, see, your mistress bids you cease, 
and welcome Love, with love's increase;
Diana hath procured your peace. 
Cupid hath sworn his bow forlorn 
to break and burn, 
ere ladies mourn.

Escuchad, amorosos santos
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the English 
Escuchad, amorosos santos del edén,
Diana ha acordado con Cupido
Su fogosa flecha remover
Fa la la
¿No veis como se ponen de acuerdo?
Entonces, cesad bellas damas
¿Por qué lloráis vosotras?
 
Mirad, vuestra dama os implora: cesad
y recibid a Cupido con sublime amor,
Diana ha procurado vuestra paz. Fa la la
Cupido ha jurado destruir y quemar su arco malicioso;
Antes de que vosotras, damas, sentáis desconsuelo.
