For those who can’t, I will helpfully offer a translation from Google 
Language Tools.  I think it speaks for itself.

"He had some Italian in the Court, famous for the guitar. He had a genius for 
music, and this is the only guitar could do something;., But its composition 
was so gracious and so tender that it would have given the harmony most 
ungrateful of all instruments. the truth is that nothing was more difficult 
than playing his way. taste the king for his compositions had made ​​the 
instrument so fashionable that all played upon the world good or bad, and the 
toilet was beautiful also sure to see a guitar to find the red and flies. 

The Duke of York played upon fairly, and the Earl of Arran as Francisco itself. 
This Frantz had just made a sarabande or désoloit that charmed everyone: for 
all guitarerie Court began to learn, and God knows the Universal raclerie it 
was! "
