FORTUNA IMPERATRIX MUNDI
1. O FORTUNA

O Fortuna, 
velut Luna 
statu variabilis, 
semper crescis 
aut decrescis; 
vita detestabilis 
nunc obdurat 
et tunc curat 
ludo mentis aciem, 
egestatem, 
potestatem 
dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis 
et inanis, 
rota tu volubilis, 
status malus, 
vana salus 
semper dissolubilis, 
obumbrata 
et velata 
michi quoque niteris; 
nunc per ludum 
dorsum nudum 
fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis
et virtutis 
michi nunc contraria 
est affectus 
et defectus 
semper in angaria. 
Hac in hora 
sine mora 
corde pulsum tangite; 
quod per sortem 
sternit fortem, 
mecum omnes plangite!

2. FORTUNE PLANGO VULNERA



Fortune plango vulnera 
stillantibus ocellis, 
quod sua michi munera 
subtrahit rebellis. 
Verum est, quod legitur 

fronte capillata, 
sed plerumque sequitur

Occasio calvata.

In Fortune solio 
sederam elatus, 
prosperitatis vario 
flore coronatus; 
quicquid enim florui 

felix et beatus, 
nunc a summo corrui 
gloria privatus.  

Fortune rota volvitur: 

descendo minoratus; 
alter in altum tollitur; 
nimis exaltatus 
rex sedet in vertice 
caveat ruinam! 
nam sub axe legimus 
Hecubam reginam.

I. PRIMO VERE 3. VERIS LETA FACIES

Veris leta facies 

mundo propinatur, 
hiemalis acies 
victa iam fugatur, 
in vestitu vario 
Flora principatur, 
nemorum dulcisono 
que cantu celebratur.

Flore fusus gremio 
Phoebus novo more 
risum dat, hoc vario 
iam stipate flore 
Zephyrus nectareo 
spirans in odore; 
certatim pro bravio 
curramus in amore.

Cytharizat cantico 
dulcis Philomena, 
flore rident vario 

prata iam serena, 
salit cetus avium 
silve per amena, 
chorus promit virginum 

iam gaudia millena.

4. OMNIA SOL TEMPERAT

Omnia Sol temperat 
purus et subtilis, 
novo mundo reserat 
facies Aprilis, 
ad Amorem properat 
animus herilis, 
et iocundis imperat 
deus puerilis.

Rerum tanta novitas 
in solemni vere 
et veris auctoritas 
iubet nos gaudere; 
vias prebet solitas, 
et in tuo vere 
fides est et probitas 
tuum retinere.

Ama me fideliter! 
fidem meam nota: 
de corde totaliter 
et ex mente tota 
sum presentialiter 
absens in remota. 
quisquis amat taliter, 
volvitur in rota.

5. ECCE GRATUM

Ecce gratum 
et optatum 
Ver reducit gaudia, 
purpuratum 
floret pratum, 
Sol serenat omnia, 
iamiam cedant tristia! 
Estas redit, 

nunc recedit 
Hyemis sevitia.


Iam liquescit 
et decrescit 
grando, nix et cetera, 
bruma fugit, 
et iam sugit, 
Ver Estatis ubera; 
illi mens est misera, 
qui nec vivit, 
nec lascivit 

sub Estatis dextera.

Gloriantur 

et letantur 
in melle dulcedinis 
qui conantur, 
ut utantur 
premio Cupidinis; 
simus jussu Cypridis 
gloriantes 
et letantes 
pares esse Paridis

7. FLORET SILVA

Floret silva nobilis 
floribus et foliis. 
Ubi est anti
quus meus amicus? Ah!


hinc equitavit,
eia, quis me amabit?

Floret silva undique,
nah mime gesellen ist mir wê. 

Gruonet der walt allenthalben, 
wâ ist min geselle alse lange? 
der ist geriten hinnen,
owî, wer soll mich minnen?


8. CHRAMER, GIP DIE VARWE MIR

Chramer, gip die varwe mir, 
die min wengel roete, 
damit ich die jungen man 
an ir dank der minnenliebe noete.

Seht mich an, 
jungen man! 
lat mich iu gevallen!

Minnet, tugentliche man, 
minnecliche frouwen! 
minne tuot iu hoch gemuot 
unde lat iuch in hohen eren schouwen.

Seht mich an…  

Wol dir werlt, das du bist 
also freudenriche! 
ich will dir sin undertan 
durch din liebe immer sicherliche.

Seht mich an…

9. REIE  

Swaz hie gat umbe, 
daz sint allez megede, 
die wellent an man 
alle disen sumer gan.  

Chume, chum, geselle min, 
ih enbite harte din.  

Suzer rosenvarwer munt, 
chum unde mache mich gesunt.

Swaz hie gat umbe,

10. WERE DIU WERLT ALLE MIN 

Were diu werlt alle min 
von dem mere unze an den Rin, 
des wolt ih mih darben, 
daz diu chünegin von Engellant 
lege an minen armen. Hei!

II. IN TABERNA 
11. ESTUANS INTERIUS

Estuans interius 
ira vehementi 
in amaritudine 
loquor mee menti: 
factus de materia, 
cinis elementi
similis sum folio, 
de quo ludunt venti.  

Cum sit enim proprium 
viro sapienti 
supra petram ponere 
sedem fundamenti, 
stultus ego comparor 
fluvio labenti, 
sub eodem tramite 
nunquam permanenti.  

Feror ego veluti 
sine nauta navis, 
ut per vias aeris 
vaga fertur avis; 
non me tenent vincula, 
non me tenet clavis, 
quero mihi similes 
et adiungor pravis.  

Mihi cordis gravitas 
res videtur gravis; 
iocus est amabilis 
dulciorque favis; 
quicquid Venus imperat, 
labor est suavis,

que nunquam in cordibus 
habitat ignavis.  

Via lata gradior 
more iuventutis, 
inplicor et vitiis 
immemor virtutis, 
voluptatis avidus 
magis quam salutis, 
mortuus in anima 
curam gero cutis.

12. OLIM LACUS COLUERAM  

Cignus ustus cantat:  

Olim lacus colueram, 
olim pulcher extiteram, 
dum cignus ego fueram.  

Miser, miser! 
modo niger
et ustus fortiter!  

Girat, regirat garcifer; 
me rogus urit fortiter: 
propinat me nunc dapifer,  

Miser, miser! etc.  

Nunc in scutella iaceo, 
et volitare nequeo, 
dentes frendentes video:  

Miser, miser! etc.

13. EGO SUM ABBAS  

Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis 
et consilium meum est cum bibulis, 
et in secta Decii voluntas mea est,

et qui mane me quesierit in taberna,


post vesperam nudus egredietur, 
et sic denudatus veste clamabit:   


Wafna, wafna! 
quid fecisti sors turpissima? 
Nostre vite gaudia 
abstulisti omnia! 
Haha!

14. IN TABERNA QUANDO SUMUS  

In taberna quando sumus, 
non curamus quid sit humus, 
sed ad ludum properamus, 
cui semper insudamus. 
Quid agatur in taberna, 
ubi nummus est pincerna, 
hoc est opus ut queratur, 
sic quid loquar, audiatur.  

Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt, 
quidam indiscrete vivunt. 
Sed in ludo qui morantur, 
ex his quidam denudantur, 
quidam ibi vestiuntur, 
quidam saccis induuntur. 
Ibi nullus timet mortem, 
sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem:   


Primo pro nummata vini 
ex hac bibunt libertini: 
semel bibunt pro captivis, 
post hec bibunt ter pro vivis, 
quater pro Christianis cunctis, 
quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis 
sexies pro sororibus vanis, 
septies pro militibus silvanis.  

Octies pro fratribus perversis, 
nonies pro monachis dispersis, 
decies pro navigantibus, 
undecies pro discordantibus, 
duodecies pro penitentibus, 
tredecies pro iter angentibus. 
Tam pro papa quam pro rege

bibunt omnes sine lege.  

Bibit hera, bibit herus, 
bibit miles, bibit clerus, 
bibit ille, bibit illa, 
bibit servus cum ancilla, 
bibit velox, bibit piger, 
bibit albus, bibit niger,  

bibit constans, bibit vagus,  

bibit rudis, bibit magus.   


Bibit pauper et egrotus, 
bibit exul et ignotus, 
bibit puer, bibit canus, 
bibit presul et decanus, 
bibit soror, bibit frater, 
bibit anus, bibit mater, 
bibit iste, bibit ille, 
bibunt centum, bibunt mille.  

Parum sexcente nummate 
durant cum immoderate 
bibunt omnes sine meta, 
quamvis bibant men te leta, 
sic nos rodunt omnes gentes 
et sic erimus egentes. 
Qui nos rodunt confundantur 
et cum iustis non scribantur.   


Io, io, io! … 

III. COUR D’AMOURS 
15. AMOR VOLAT UNDIQUE  

Amor volat undique, 
captus est libidine. 
Iuvenes, iuvencule 
coniunguntur merito. 
Siqua sine socio, 
caret omni gaudio, 
tenet noctis infima
sub intimo 
cordis in custodia: 
fit res amarissima. 

16. DIES, NOX ET OMNIA

Dies, nox et omnia 
michi sunt contraria, 
virginum colloquia 
me fay planszer, 
oy suvenz suspirer, 
plu me fay temer.  

O sodales, ludite, 
vos qui scitis dicite, 
michi mesto parcite, 
grand ey dolur, 
attamen consulite 
per voster honur.  

Tua pulchra facies, 
me fey planszer milies, 
pectus habens glacies, 
a remender 
statim vivus fierem 
per un baser.

17. STETIT PUELLA  

Stetit puella 
rufa tunica; 
si quis eam tetigit, 
tunica crepuit. 
Eia.  

Stetit puella, 
tamquam rosula; 
facie splenduit, 
os eius floruit. 
Eia. 

18. CIRCA MEA PECTORA  

Circa mea pectora 
multa sunt suspiria 
de tua pulchritudine, 
que me ledunt misere. Ah! 

Manda liet, 
manda liet, 
min geselle 
chumet niet.  

Tui lucent oculi 
sicut solis radii, 
sicut splendor fulguris 
lucem donat tenebris. Ah!  

Mandaliet, etc.  

Vellet deus, vellent dii, 
quod mente proposui: 
ut eius virginea 
reserassem vincula. Ah!  

Mandaliet, etc

19. SIE PUER CUM PUELLULA  

Sie puer cum puellula 
moraretur in cellula, 
felix coniunctio. 
Amore sucrescente, 
pariter e medio 
propulso procul tedio, 
fit ludus ineffabilis 
membris, lacertis, labiis.

20. VENI, VENI, VENIAS

Veni, veni, venias, 
ne me mori facias, 
hyrca, hyrca, nazaza, 
trillirivos!  

Pulchra tibi facies, 
oculorum acies, 
capillorum series, 
o quam clara species!  

Rosa rubicundior, 
lilio candidior, 
omnibus formosior, 
semper in te glorior!

21. IN TRUTINA  

In trutina mentis dubia 
fluctuant contraria 
lascivus amor et pudicitia. 
Sed eligo quod video, 
collum iugo prebeo; 
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.

22. TEMPUS EST IOCUNDUM  

Tempus est iocundum, 
o virgines, 
modo congaudete 
vos iuvenes. 
Oh, oh, oh! 
totus floreo, 
iam amore virginali totus ardeo! 
novus, novus novus amor est, quo pereo!  

Mea me confortat 
promissio, 
mea me deportant 
negatio. 
Oh, oh, oh! etc.  

Tempore brumali 
vir patiens, 
animo vernali 
lasciviens. 
Oh, oh, oh! etc.  

Mea mecum ludit 
virginitas, 
mea me detrudit 
simplicitas. 
Oh, oh, oh! etc.  

Veni domicella, 
cum gaudio, 
veni, veni, pulchra, 
iam pereo. 
Oh, oh, oh! etc. 

23. DULCISSIME

Dulcissime, Ah! 
totam tibi subdo me!

BLANZIFLOR ET HELENA 
24. AVE FORMOSISSIMA  

Ave formosissima, 
gemma pretiosa, 
ave decus virginum, 
virgo gloriosa, 
ave mundi luminar 
ave mundi rosa, 
Blanziflor et Helena, 
Venus generosa! 

FORTUNA IMPERATRIX MUNDI 
25. O FORTUNA  

No. 1 repeated

 

FORTUNE EMPRESS OF THE WORLD 
1. O FORTUNE

O Fortune, 
Like the moon 
You are changeable, 
ever waxing 
and waning. 
Hateful life, 
first oppresses, 
and then soothes 
as fancy takes it; 
poverty, 
and power 
it melts them like ice.

Fate - monstrous
and empty, 
you whirling wheel, 
you are malevolent, 
well-being is in vain
and always fades to nothing, 
shadowed 
and veiled 
you plague me too; 
now through the game 
I bring my bare back 
To your villainy.

Fate is against me 
in health 
and virtue, 
driven on 
and weighted down, 
always enslaved. 
So at this hour 
without delay 
pluck the vibrating strings; 
since Fate 
strikes down the strong man, 
everyone weep with me!

2. I BEMOAN THE WOUNDS OF 

FORTUNE

I bemoan the wounds of Fortune 

with weeping eyes, 
for the gifts she made me 
she perversely takes away. 
It is written in truth, 
that she has a fine head of hair, 
but, when it comes to seizing an 

opportunity, 
she is bald.

On Fortune’s throne 
I used to sit raised up, 
crowned with 

the many-colored flowers of prosperity; 
though I may have flourished 
happy and blessed, 
now I fall from the peak 
deprived of glory. 

The wheel of Fortune turns: 

I go down, demeaned; 
another is raised up; 
far too high up 
sits the king at the summit – 
let him fear ruin! 
for under the axis is written 
Queen Hecuba.

I. SPRING 3. THE MERRY FACE OF SPRING

The merry face of spring 

turns to the world, 
sharp winter 
now flees, vanquished; 
bedecked in various colors 
Flora reigns, 
the harmony of the woods 
praises her in song. Ah!

Lying in Flora’s lap 
Phoebus once more 
smiles, now covered  
in many-colored flowers, 
Zephyr breathes nectar- 
scented breezes. 
Let us rush to compete 
for love’s prize. Ah!

In harp-like tones sings

 the sweet nightingale, 
with many flowers 
the joyous meadows are laughing, 
a flock of birds rises up 
through the pleasant forests, 
the chorus of maidens 
already promises a thousand joys. Ah.

4. THE SUN WARMS EVERYTHING

The sun warms everything, 

pure and gentle, 
once again it reveals to the world 
April’s face, 
the soul of man 
is urged towards love 
and joys are governed 
by the boy-god.

All this rebirth 
in spring’s festivity 
and spring’s power 
bids us to rejoice; 
it shows us paths we know well, 
and in your springtime 
it is true and right 
to keep what is yours.

Love me faithfully! 
See how I am faithful: 
With all my heart 
and with all my soul, 
I am with you 
Even when I am far away. 
Whoever loves this much 
turns on the wheel.

5. BEHOLD, THE PLEASANT SPRING

Behold the pleasant 
and longed-for 
spring brings back joyfulness, 
violet flowers 
fill the meadows, 
the sun brightens everything, 
sadness is now at an end! 
Summer returns, 
now withdraw 
the rigors of winter. Ah!

Now melts

and disappears 
ice, snow, and the rest, 
winter flees, 
and now 
spring sucks at summer’s breast: 
A wretched soul is he 
who does not live 
or lust 
under summer’s rule. Ah!

They glory 

and rejoice 
in honeyed sweetness
who strive 
to make use of 
Cupid’s prize; 
At Venus’ command 
let us glory 
and rejoice 
in being Paris’ equals. Ah!

ON THE GREEN

6. DANCE

7. THE NOBLE WOODS ARE BURGEONING

The noble woods are burgeoning 

with flowers and leaves, 
Where is the lover 
I knew? Ah!

He has ridden off!
Oh! Who will love me? Ah!

The woods are burgeoning all over, 
I am pining for my lover, 

The woods are turning green all over, 
why is my lover away so long? Ah!
He has ridden off,
Oh woe, who will love me? Ah!


8. SHOPKEEPER, GIVE ME COLOR

Shopkeeper, give me color 
to make my cheeks red, 
so that I can make the young men 
love me, against their will  

Look at me, 
young men! 
Let me please you!  

Good men, love 
women worthy of love! 
Love ennobles your spirit 
and gives you honor.  

Look at me, etc.  

Hail, world, 
so rich in joys! 
I will be obedient to you
because of the pleasures you afford. 

Look at me, etc.  

9. ROUND DANCE 

Those who go round and round 
are all maidens, 
they want to do without a man 
all summer long. Ah! Sla!  

Come, come, my love, 
I long for you.  

Sweet rose-red lips, 
come and make me better.

Those who go round, etc.

10. IF ALL THE WORLD WERE MINE

If all the world were mine 
from the sea to the Rhine, 
I would do without it 
if the Queen of England 
would lie in my arms. Hey!

II. IN THE TAVERN 
11. BURNING INSIDE  

Burning inside 
with violent anger, 
bitterly 
I speak my heart: 
Created from matter, 
of the ashes of the elements, 
I am like a leaf 
played with by the winds.  

If it is the way 
of the wise man 
to build 
foundations on stone, 
then I am a fool, like 
a flowing stream, 
which in its course 
never changes.  

I am carried along 
like a ship without a steersman, 
and in the paths of the air 
like a light, hovering bird; 
chains cannot hold me, 
keys cannot imprison me, 
I look for people like me 
and join the wretches.  

The heaviness of my heart 
seems a burden to me; 
it is pleasant to joke 
and sweeter than honeycomb; 
whatever Venus commands 
is a sweet duty,

she never dwells 
in a lazy heart.  

I travel the broad path 
as is the way of youth, 
I give myself to vice, 
unmindful of virtue, 
I am eager for the pleasures of the flesh 
more than for salvation, 
my soul is dead, 
so I shall look after the flesh.

12. ONCE I LIVED ON LAKES  

The roasted swan sings:  

Once I lived on lakes, 
once I looked beautiful 
when I was a swan.  

Misery me! 
Now black 
and roasting fiercely!  

The servant is turning me on the spit; 
I am burning fiercely on the pyre; 
the steward now serves me up.  

Misery me! etc.  

Now I lie on a plate, 
and cannot fly anymore, 
I see bared teeth:  

Misery me! etc.

13. I AM THE ABBOT  

I am the abbot of Cockaigne 
and my assembly is one of drinkers, 
and I wish to be in the order of Decius,

and whoever searches me out at the 
tavern in the morning,

after Vespers he will leave naked, 
and thus stripped of his clothes he will call 
out:  

Woe! Woe! 
what have you done, vilest Fate? 
The joys of my life 
you have taken all away! 
Haha!

14. WHEN WE ARE IN THE TAVERN

When we are in the tavern, 
we do not think how we will go to dust, 
but we hurry to gamble, 
which always makes us sweat, 
What happens in the tavern, 
where money is host, 
you may well ask, 
and hear what I say.  

Some gamble, some drink, 
some behave loosely. 
But of those who gamble, 
some are stripped bare, 
some win their clothes here, 
some are dressed in sacks. 
Here no-one fears death, 
but they throw the dice in the name of 
Bacchus.  

First of all it is to the wine-merchant 
that the libertines drink, 
one for the prisoners, 
three for the living, 
four for all Christians, 
five for the faithful dead. 
six for the loose sisters, 
seven for the footpads in the wood.  

Eight for the errant brethren, 
nine for the dispersed monks, 
ten for the seamen, 
eleven for the squabblers, 
twelve for the penitent, 
thirteen for the wayfarers. 
To the Pope as to the king 

they all drink without restraint.  

The mistress drinks, the master drinks, 
the soldier drinks, the priest drinks, 
the man drinks, the woman drinks, 
the servant drinks with the maid,
the swift man drinks, the lazy man drinks, 
the white man drinks, the black man 
drinks, 
the settled man drinks, the wanderer 
drinks, 
the stupid man drinks, the wise man 
drinks,  

The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks, 
the exile drinks, and the stranger, 
the boy drinks, the old man drinks, 
the bishop drinks, and the deacon, 
the sister drinks, the brother drinks, 
the old lady drinks, the mother drinks, 
this man drinks, that man drinks, 
a hundred drink, a thousand drink.  

Six hundred pennies would hardly 
suffice, if everyone 
drinks immoderately and immeasurably. 
However much the cheerfully drink 
we are the ones whom everyone scolds, 
and thus we are destitute. 
May those who slander us be cursed 
and may their names not be written in the
book of the righteous.  

Io, io, io! 

III. THE COURT OF LOVE 
15. CUPID FLIES EVERYWHERE  

Cupid flies everywhere 
seized by desire. 
Young men and women 
are rightly coupled. 
The girl without a lover 
misses out on all pleasures, 
she keeps the dark night 
hidden 
in the depth of her heart;
it is a most bitter fate.

16. DAY, NIGHT, AND EVERYTHING  

Day, night, and everything 
is against me, 
the chattering of maidens 
makes me weep, 
and often sigh, 
and, most of all, scares me.  

O friends, you are making fun of me, 
you do not know what you are saying, 
spare me, sorrowful as I am, 
great is my grief, 
advise me at least, 
by your honor.  

Your beautiful face, 
makes me weep a thousand times, 
your heart is of ice. 
As a cure, 
I would be revived 
by a kiss.

17. A GIRL STOOD  

A girl stood 
in a red tunic; 
if anyone touched it, 
the tunic restled. 
Eia!  

A girl stood 
like a little rose: 
her face was radiant 
and her mouth in bloom. 
Eia! 

18. IN MY HEART  

In my heart 
there are many sighs 
for your beauty, 
which wound me sorely. Ah!

Mandaliet, 
mandaliet, 
my lover  
does not come.  

Your eyes shine 
like the rays of the sun, 
like the flashing of lightening 
which brightens the darkness. Ah!  

Mandaliet, etc.  

May God grant, may the gods grant 
what I have in my mind 
that I may loose 
the chains of her virginity, Ah! 

Mandaliet, etc. 

19. IF A BOY WITH A GIRL  

If a boy with a girl 
tarries in a little room, 
happy is their coupling. 
Love rises up, 
and between them 
prudery is driven away, 
an ineffable game begins 
in their limbs, arms and lips.

20. COME, COME, O COME  

Come, come, O come, 
do not let me die, 
hyrca, hyrce, nazaza, 
trillirivos!  

Beautiful is your face, 
the gleam of your eye, 
your braided hair, 
what a glorious creature!  

Redder than the rose, 
whiter than the lily, 
lovelier than all others, 
I shall always glory in you!

21. IN THE BALANCE  

In the wavering balance of my feelings 
set against each other 
lascivious love and modesty. 
But I choose what I see, 
and submit my neck to the yoke; 
I yield to the sweet yoke.

22. THIS IS THE JOYFUL TIME  

This is the joyful time, 
O maidens, 
rejoice with them, 
young men! 
Oh, oh, oh! 
I am bursting out all over! 
I am burning all over with first love! 
New, new love is what I am dying of!  

I am heartened 
by my promise, 
I am downcast 
by my refusal. 
Oh! oh! oh! etc.  

In the winter 
man is patient, 
the breath of spring 
makes him lust. 
Oh! oh! oh! etc.  

My virginity  
makes me frisky, 
my simplicity  
holds me back. 
Oh! oh! oh! etc.

As of August 31, 2026

Established in honor of Jane and D. J. Sibley, Jr., the Sibley Encore Society celebrates their extraordinary commitment to the Austin Symphony Orchestra. During her distinguished tenure as President of the Austin Symphony Orchestra Society (1971–1996), Jane Sibley’s leadership fostered national acclaim and lasting local support. The Society honors those who share this enduring spirit by including the Symphony in their estate plans or through other forms of planned giving, ensuring that great music continues to enrich future generations. The Moto Perpetuo Society further recognizes those whose legacy gifts exceed $100,000, sustaining the Symphony’s mission for years to come.
