Translation:

Go forth, my heart, and seek joy in this beautiful summer time in the gifts of your God. Look at the adornments of the beautiful gardens, and see how they have decorated themselves for me and you.
2. The trees are full of leaves, the soil covers its dust with a green dress; the tulips are dressed much nicer than the silk of Solomon.
3. The lark soars into the air; the little dove flies out of its crevice and into the woods; the highly talented nightingale amuses and fills with its sound mountains, hills, valleys and fields.
