Both parts of the motet consist of 42 breves. When this motet was published, Archduke Ferdinand (born in 1529) was 42 years old."

Ferdinande tuo congestos nomine cantus, atque pios hilari suscipe fronte modos, munera quippe sacris haec sunt excerpta viretis, et quae Thespiadum fonte rigata fluunt. Si tamen haec nequeant princeps habuisse patronum, auxilio videas deficiente mori, ergo tua virtute meum defende laborem, et fac ingenio posse placere tuo.
