Italian text
Era l’anima mia già presso a l’ultim’ hore.
E languia come langue alma che more.
Quand’ anima più bella e più gradita
Volse lo sguard’ in si pietoso giro
Che mi mantenn’ in vita.
Parean dir quei bei lumi:
Deh! Perchè ti consumi?
Non m’è si caro il cor
ond’ io respiro come se’ tu, cor mio.
Se mori, ohimè! Non mori tu, mor’ io.
Contrafactum Stabat Virgo
Latin text
Stabat virgo Maria mestissimo dolore
Languens ad crucem & flebat amare.
Et edidit ex ore tales voces:
Quis te confixit in hoc diro ligno
Quis mihi rapit vitam?
Fili mi, IESU Christe
En liquefacta languet
Et solvitur in lachrymas amoris
anima mea dolens en langueo,
en morior dolore!
