Donna, se m’ancidete
la mia vita sarete,
nè sperate già più ch’io chieggi aita.
Se amara è la mia vita, 
dolce sia la mia morte. 
Così, cangiando sorte, 
la mia vita sarete, 
donna, se m’ancidete.

Composition:

    Set to music by Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa (c1561 - 1613), "Donna, se m’ancidete", published 1595 [ chorus ], madrigal for six voices
