Hic iacet Armonici Princeps, et gloria cantus /
Quem dedit Hesperia Dux sibi magna locum /
Bernardinus Franciosinus flatibus urgens /
Dulcisonis calamos primus in Orbe virum /
Extinctus męruit, quos gessit vivus, honores /
Hac hominum sacra primus in Ęde cubat.

Here lies the prince and glory of harmonious song, to whom great Hesperia gave the place as her duke, Bernardino Franciosino; excelling with sweet-sounding blowing, he was deemed first among men in the world on the reed pipes; extinguished, he merited the honors he bore when alive, he rests first among men in this sacred temple.

Notes

[a] Rosselli says that the musician's tomb decorated with musical instruments was visible just after entering the main door of the church.
[b] Rosselli describes a border of musical instruments decorating the slab. It is not made clear whether this was relief sculpture or inlay, but the ensemble included "flutes, trombones, cornets, and other wind instruments" (flauti, tromboni, cornette, et altri instrumenti di fiato" along with a long inscription.
