Tu m’uccidi, o crudele, 
d’amor empia homicida, 
e vuoi ch’io taccia 
e’l mio morir non grida? 
Ahi, non si può 
tacer l’aspro martire, 
che va innanzi al morire, 
ond’io ne vo gridando: 
“Oimè, ch’io moro, amando!”

Composition:

    Set to music by Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c1561 - 1613), "Tu m’uccidi, o crudele", published 1611 [ chorus ], madrigal for five voices
