Question 1

Passer, deliciae meae puellae, quicum ludere, quem in sinu tenere, cui primum digitum dare appetenti et acris solet incitare morsus

Answer 1

Sparrow, favorite of my girl, with whom she is accustomed to play, whom she is accustomed to hold in her lap, to whom seeking, she is accustomed to give her first finger and to incite sharp bites.

Question 2

cum desiderio meo nitenti carum nescio quid lubet iocari et solaciolum sui doloris,

Answer 2

When it pleases my shining desire to joke something dear as a little comfort of her grief.

Question 3

credo ut tum gravis acquiescat ardor: tecum ludere sicut ipsa possem et tristis animi levare curas!

Answer 3

I believe, that then a heavy passion grows quiet. Would that I were able to play with you just as she herself and to remove the sad spirits of your mind.
