Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Moritur in ligno Dominus noster
& ille Patris splendor obscuratur
Deficit lumen Solis & mortui resurgunt
& contremiscit terra.
O splendor gloriae, sic nos amasti!

Italian.png Italian text

Morirè di dolor prima ch’io veggia
Ne’ bei vostr’ occhi di pietad’ un segno
Tant’ in voi può lo sdegno.
Ne so che far mi deggia
Te non mostrar di fuore
Che dentro sol per voi
Languisce il core.
