Ancide sol la morte
E tu, mio core, che la vita sei,
Uccider non mi puoi
Col dolce colpo
De’ begli occhi tuoi.
Io, morendo per te, lieto morrei
Se ferita mortale
Uscir potesse
Da beltà vitale.

Composition:

    Set to music by Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c1561 - 1613), "Ancide sol la morte", published 1611 [ chorus ], madrigal for five voices
