Ardita zanzaretta
Morde colei che il mio cor strugge e tiene
In così crude pene;
Fugge poi, e rivola
In quel bel seno che il mio cor invola,
Indi la prende e stringe e le dà morte
Per sua felice sorte.
Ti morderò ancor io, 
dolce amato ben mio, 
e se mi prendi e stringi, ahi, verrò meno 
provando in quel bel sen dolce veleno.

Composition:

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