Edition notes: Transcribed from 1595 print. Original key (chiavi naturali) and note values. An obvious error of the 1595 print has been corrected (Basso, bar 42 the first minim in the source is A which we have corrected to G.) In bar 39 we put the sharp sign before the D in the Quinto. As is general practice in Marenzio's time, when the same note is repeated, the accidental is put only before the first note. The only confusing thing is that the last D comes in a new system in the source and has no sharp sign before it. Nevertheless, we think this note should be D sharp.

Original text and translations

Italian text Quell'augellin, che canta Sì dolcemente e lascivetto vola Hor da l'abete al faggio, Ed hor dal faggio al mirto. S'avesse umano spirto, Direbbe: Ardo d'amor, ardo d'amore! Ma ben arde nel core E parla in sua favella Sì che l'intende il suo dolce desio. Ed odi a punto, O Tirsi, il suo dolce desio Che gli risponde: Ardo d'amor anch'io!

English translation That little bird which sings So sweetly and gaily flies Now from the fir to the beech tree And now from the beech to the myrtle. If he had a human mind, Would say: I burn with love, I burn with love! But in his heart he burns indeed And speaks in his language In such guise that his beloved understands him. And, Tirsi, hear how his beloved responds to him: I too am burning with love! Translation by Mick Swithinbank
