Se la mia morte brami,
Crudel, lieto ne moro.
E dopo morte ancor te solo adoro.
Ma se vuoi ch’io non t’ami,
Ahi, che a pensarlo solo
Il duol m’ancide e l’alma fugge a volo.

If you desire my death,
Oh cruel one, I shall die happy

Istorum est enim regnum caelorum,

Isti sunt sancti qui pro testamento Dei sua corpora tradiderunt

In illo tempore dixit Jesus discipulis suis:
non turbetur cor vestrum neque formidet.
Creditis in Deum et in me credite.
In domo patris mei mansiones multae sunt,
alleluia alleluia.
Domine ostende nobis Patrem et sufficit nobis.
Tanto tempore vobiscum sum et non cognovistis me?
Phillipe qui videt me, videt et Patrem meum, alleluia.
=== ENGLISH ===
In those days Jesus said to his disciples:
Let not your heart be troubled, and do not fear.
You trust in God, also trust in me.
In the house of my Father there are many palaces. Alleluia.
Lord, show to us the Father and it will be enough for us.
For how long have I been with you and you not recognized me?
Philip, whoever sees me, he sees also my Father. Alleluia.

The score was edited from a manuscript in the Vatican Library, where the text underlay is very vague. Therefore the text underlay of this score often differs from what is being sung.
Domine, non secundum peccata nostra quae fecimus nos,
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis.
Domine, ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum,
cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae,
quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
=== ENGLISH ===
Lord do not judge us according to the sins we have committed
or according to our iniquities.
Lord, do not remember our iniquities of old,
but let your mercy quickly come before us,
for we have become exceedingly poor.
Help us, God of our salvation, and for the glory of your name,
Lord free us and be gracious towards our sins for your name's sake.

One day, Susanne's love was solicited by

this is done to me. If I resist,
you would make me die in disgrace.
But I would rather perish innocent,

Infelix ego, omnium auxilio destitutus, qui cælum terramque offendi:
quo ibo? quo me vertam? ad quem fugiam? quis mei miserebitur?
Ad cælum levare oculos non audeo, quia ei graviter peccavi,
in terra refugium non invenio, quia ei scandalum fui.
Quid igitur faciam? desperabo?
Absit, misericors est Deus, pius est Salvator meus.
Solus igitur Deus refugium meum, ipse non despiciet opus suum,
non repellet imaginem suam.
Ad te igitur, piissime Deus, tristis ac mærens venio,
quoniam tu solus spes mea, tu solus refugium meum.
Quid autem dicam tibi? cum oculos levare non audeam?
verba doloris effundam, misericordiam tuam implorabo et dicam:
miserere mei Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.

=== ENGLISH ===
Unlucky me! Bereft of all aid, who against heaven and earth have offended.
Where shall I go? Where shall I turn? To whom shall I flee? Who will have pity on me?
I do not dare to lift up mine eyes to the heavens, because I have gravely sinned against them.
I find no refuge on earth, because I have been a disgrace to it.
What, therefore, am I to do? Shall I despair?
Let it be far off: God is merciful; my Saviour is kind.
Therefore, God alone will be my refuge: he will not despise the work of his hands,
nor repel his own image.
Therefore, to thee, most loving God, do I come, sad and grieving:
for thou alone art my hope, thou alone my refuge.
But what am I to say to thee, since I dare not lift up mine eyes?
I shall pour out words of sorrow, implore thy mercy and say:
have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy.

Your loft y beauty, unique in its infinity,
Is the reason for my burning, and you allow it.
I cry out and you do not listen:
“Pour water, my lady, on these fl ames,
For I am dying little by little.”
My troubled life now is fading,
You do not believe it, yet your eyes behold it.
I cry out and you do not listen:
“Pour water, my lady, on these fl ames,
For I am dying little by little.”
I am almost hoarse from asking your pity,
But you treat my pain only as a game.
Yet I cry out everywhere
“Pour water, my lady, on these flames,
For I am dying little by little.”

L’alto consiglio alhor ch’elegger volse
Madre a Dio in terra con divina cura
Vedendo già cader nostra natura
Lei sola tenne e in grembo a sé l’accolse
Dal giusto sdegno suo colui la tolse
Che sol forma le leggi e il ciel misura
E fuor d’ombra d’error candida e pura
Dal nodo universal non mai la sciolse.
Perchè non la legò, né meno in forse
La lasció di cader ma caro in mano
Sempre serbò quel bel cristallo intiero
E per far l’ordin suo più dritto il torse
Per altro solo a lui noto sentiero
E lo condusse al camin nostro humano.
(Vittoria Colonna)
=== ENGLISH ==
The high Counsel, the One who chose
with divine providence the Mother of God on earth,
saw our nature falling, and
He held her alone and kept her on His lap.
From His righteous indignation He took her away,
He who alone forms the laws and measures the heavens.
And out of the shadow of error, he took her, radiant and pure,
never detached from the universal connection.
For He has not bound her nor ever let her
Fall, but held her dearly in his hand,
kept her intact as a precious jewel.
And, to make his commandment even straighter, He twisted it
to take another path, known to Him only,
and led it on our human path.

And look mercifully at my failure.
Oh Lord, You set apart
night from day and the hours
While making the sky with clear lights adorned;
Ah, may that eternal love,
Which from a confusing terror
Drew for us such beautiful forms,
finally welcome us above the stars.
Oh Lord, to whom it pleased to adorn
This wide and lowly earth
With a thousand precious and rare plants,

The interior and bitter war
That now triumphs and pulls me down,
And you dressed the soul with Your holy ardour.

Giunto alla tomba, ove al suo spirto vivo
Dolorosa prigion il ciel prescrisse,
Di color, di calor, di moto privo,
Già marmo in vista il marmo il viso affisse.
Al fin sgorgando un lagrimoso rivo,
In un languido ohimè, proruppe e disse:
O sasso amato tanto amaro tanto,
Che dentro hai le mie fiamme e fuor il pianto.
Non di morte sei tu, ma di vivaci
Ceneri albergo, ov’ è nascosto Amore;
Sento dal freddo tuo l’usate faci,
Men dolci sì, ma non men calde al cuore.
Deh, prendi questi pianti e questi baci
Prendi, ch’io bagno di doglioso humore,
Et dagli tu, poi ch’io non posso, almeno,
A l'amate reliquie c’hai nel seno.

Before the tomb, painful prison to which
her living spirit heaven had sent,
pallid, cold, mute, and bereft
of nearly all movement, he fixed his gaze upon the marble.
At last, shedding a river of tears,
he uttered a languid "Poor me!" and said,
"Oh beloved and honoured stone,
within you is my flame and without, my lament."
"You are not of death made, rather a refuge
of living ashes, where Love hides,
and how I do feel the flames I know so well,
less sweet indeed, yet just as lethal to my heart.
Ah! Take my sighs, and these kisses, take them,
I have soaked them in a painful humour,
and at least, as I myself cannot, give them
to the beloved remains you hod within your depths.

c'est fait de moi. Si je fais résistance,
vous me ferez mourir en déshonneur.
Mais j'aime mieux périr en innocence,
que d'offenser par péché le Seigneur.
=== ENGLISH ===
One day, Susanne's love was solicited by
two old men coveting her beauty.
She became sad and displeased in her heart,
seeing the attempt at her chastity.
She said, 'If, dishonourably,
from my body you take pleasure,
I am lost. If I resist,
you would make me die in disgrace.
But I would rather perish innocent,
than to offend the Lord with a sin.

Susanne un jour d'amour sollicitée
par deux viellards convoitans sa beauté,
fut en son coeur triste et déconfortée,
voyant l'effort fait à sa chasteté.
Elle leur dit: Si par déloyauté
de ce corps mien vous avez jouissance,
c'est fait de moi. Si je fais résistance,
vous me ferez mourir en déshonneur.
Mais j'aime mieux périr en innocence,
que d'offenser par péché le Seigneur.

Quaeramus cum pastoribus
Verbum incarnatum;
cantemus cum hominibus
regem saeculorum. Noe.
Quem tu vides in stabulo?
Jesum natum de Virgine.
Quid audis in praesepio?
Angelos cum carmine
et pastores dicentes: Noe.
Ubi pascas, ubi cubes?
Dic, si ploras, aut si rides:
Te rogamus, Rex Christe. Noe.
Cibus est lac virgineum,
lectus durum praesepium,
carmina sunt lacrimae. Noe.
=== ENGLISH ===
Let us seek with the shepherds
the Word incarnate;
let us sing with all mankind
for the King of the ages. Noel.
Whom do you see in the stable?
Jesus, born of the Virgin.
What do you hear in the manger?
Angels with a song
and shepherds saying: Noel.
Where do you eat, where do you lie?
Say, whether you weep or laugh:
we ask you, Christ the King. Noel.
My food is milk of the Virgin,
my bed a hard manger,
my songs are tears. Noel.
