Latin text

Quis dabit capiti meo aquam?
Quis oculis meis fontem lachrimarum dabit,
ut nocte fleam, ut luce fleam?

Sic turtur viduus solet,
sic cygnus moriens solet,
sic luscinia conqueri.
Heu miser, o dolor!

Treble and Tenor 1:
Laurus impetu fulminis
illa illa iacet subito,
laurus omnium celebris
musarum choris,
nympharum choris.

Bass:
Et requiescamus in pace.

All:
Sub cuius patula coma
et Phebi lira blandius insonat
et vox dulcius.
Nunc muta omnia,
nunc surda omnia.
