Aria da capo - Allegretto
 O qui coeli terraeque serenitas
 et fons lucis et arbiter es,

 Unde regis aeterna tua sidera
 mitis considera
 nostra vota, clamores et spes.

Recitativo
 Fac ut sordescat tellus
 dum respicimus coelum;
 fac ut bona superna
 constanter diligamus
 et sperantes aeterna
 quidquid caducum 
 est odio habeamus.

Aria da capo - Largo
 Rosa quae moritur,
 unda quae labitur,
 mundi delicias
 docent fugaces.

 Vix fronte amabili
 mulcent cum labili
 pede praetervolant
 larvae fallaces.

Alleluia - Allegro
