TextOselletto selvagio per stagionedolci versetti canta con bel modo: tal e tal grida forte, ch'i' non l'odo. Per gridar forte non si canta bene. ma con soav'e dolce melodia si fa bel canto, e ci= vuol maestria. Pochi l'hanno e tutti si fan maestri. fan ballate, madrigal'e motetti tutt'en Fioran, Filippotti e Marchetti. S8 F piena la terra di magistroli. che loco pi· non trovano discepoli. TranslationA woodbird in seasonsings sweet verses in elegant style: but such and such squawk so loud I cannot praise them. By squawking loudly one cannot sing well. but with sweet and charming melody one can make a beautiful song, and this requires mastery. Few possess it, yet they all claim to be masters. composing ballads, madrigals and motets. they are all Florians, Filippottos and Marchettos. The land is so filled with little masters that there is no room for disciples. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
