Monteverdi: Confitebor Tibi, Domine, Sv266
I Fagiolini
6:19There, where I saw her lovely beauty painted, where, Venus-like, my sacred goddess shineth there, with precellent object mine eyes fainted, that fair, but fatal star, my dole divineth. As soon as morning in her light appeareth, her sweet salute my mind o'erclouded cleareth when night again the day's delight bereaveth, my heart's true sacrifice she quick receiveth: but night and day she craftily forsakes me, to tedious day, to loathsome night betakes me.
