Description: There is a possibility that this madrigal is the second part of Qual primavera e questa (Francesco Maria Guaitoli). The keys are identical, as are the voice-keys. The lyrics of Qual primavera can not be attributed to Annibal Pocaterra, but nevertheless the two madrigals share textual elements.

Non porta ghiaccio Aprile,
Ma lieti e vaghi fiori,
O bellissima mia cruda Licori.
Deh com'avvien che per mia sorte dura
Cangi suo stil Natura,
E sua natura il Cielo,
Poi che le rose,e'l gelo,
Miro in te sola, e sol in te discerno,
Viso di Primavera e cor di Verno.

Annibal Pocaterra
