Se per avervi, oimè, donato il core
 (Sung text for setting by C. Monteverdi)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Se per avervi, ohimè, donato il core,
nasce in me quell'ardore,
donna crudel, che m'ard'in ogni loco,
tal che son tutto foco.
E se per amar voi, l'aspro martire
mi fa di duol morire,
miser, che far debb'io
privo di voi che sete ogni ben mio?

Composition:

    Set to music by Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643), "Se per avervi, oimè, donato il core", published 1587 [ chorus ], from Libro I de madrigali, no. 2, madrigal
