Spring
Spring has arrived， and merrily
the birds greet it with happy song;
and the brooks， at the blowing of the zephyrs,
with sweet murmuring rush along。
Then, covering the air with a black cloak，
come lightning and thunder chosen to herald it；
then, when these are silent，
the little birds return anew to their melodious enchantment.
And now in the pleasant flowery meadow,
to the soft murmur of boughs and grasses，
sleeps the goatherd with his faithful dog at his side。
To the festive sound of pastoral bagpipes，
Nymphs and shepherds dance under their beloved sky
At Spring's sparkling arrival。
Summer
In the harsh season parched by the sun,
man and flock languish, and the pine withers；
the cuckoo raises its voice and as soon as it is heard，
the turtledove and goldfinch sing.
Zephyr blows sweetly, but， in contest,
Boreas suddenly moves nearby；
and the shepherd boy weeps, for， in suspense,
he fears the violent storm and his own fate。
His weary limbs are deprived of rest
by fear of lightning, and wild thunder,
and by the furious swarm of flies and bluebottles！
Unfortunately his fears are justified,
The sky fills with thunder and lightning，
and hail decapitates the proud stalks of grain。
