Golden tresses, beautiful treasure, you bind me in a thousand ways. You tie me and untie me. You are the pearl-white rose that binds my
wound. Living star, both beautiful and longing, you laugh at me with joy and mockery. Precious love, your ruby lips speak my blessing and
my eulogy. Oh beautiful knot for whom I leave this life, give me the mortal wound.

Genere concitato: Agitated Music – Ardo, ardo from The Eighth Book of Madrigals, 1638

I burn, I burn, in flames I melt; come here, Neighbors, friends, to the flaming place Theft, theft, betrayal, fire; Bring ladders, axes,
hammers, water; And you sacred bell towers, you are still; Come on, bronze bells, I am hoarse from crying; Tell everybody about the great
danger, And ask for pity for my fires.

Love is sweet, but bitter is regret But my poor heart will remain forever true
