Its flood from blest Ubaldo’s chosen seat,

A fertile mount an airy coast extends,

Wherefrom Perugia feels both cold and heat

Through Porta Sole, and behind it weep

Gualdo and Nòcera their grievous yoke.

There, on that side of it where most the steep

In its declivity is sharply broke,

Unto the world another Sun was born,

Like this, our daily planet, whose glad face

Beams forth from Ganges, bringing Europe’s morn.
