Languisce al fin chi da la vita parte
E di morte il dolore
L'affligge sì che in crude pene more.
Ahi, che quello son io,
Dolcissimo cor mio, che da voi parto 
e per mia crudel sorte
La vita lascio e me ne vado a morte.

Composition:

    Set to music by Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c1561 - 1613), "Languisce al fin chi da la vita parte", published 1611 [ chorus ], madrigal for five voices
