Van den Budenmayer : Concerto en mi mineur

O you, eager to hear more,
who have followed in your little bark
my ship that singing makes its way,
«Do not set forth upon the deep,
for, losing sight of me, you would be lost.
«The seas I sail were never sailed before.
Minerva fills my sails, Apollo is my guide,
nine Muses point me toward the Bears.»
