Dulcis amica dei, semper vicina profundis,
Suave cano Musis, nigro perfusa colore
Nuntia sum linguae digitis signata ministris.

Peck:

Companion of a god, the depths I'm always near,
I to the Muses sing and black appear,
By min'string fingers pressed, give the tongue's message clear.

Ohl:

Sweet mistress of a god, the steep bank's neighbor, sweetly singing for the Muses; when drenched with black, I am the tongue's messenger by guiding fingers pressed.

Give up? Here's the answer.
