Thomasina Ross translation

It is an ode to Zephyr:—

Dulce vecino de la verde selva, huesped eterno del Abril florido, vital aliento de la madre Venus, Zephyro blando, Si de mis ansias el amor supiste, tù, que las quejas de mi voz llevaste, oye, no temas, i a mi Nympha dile, dile que muero. Philis un tiempo mi dolor sabia, Philis un tiempo mi dolor lloraba, quisome un tiempo, mas agora temo, temo sus iras; &c.
