"The perfection of the 5-part writing has been interpreted as suggesting that the ''sextus'' was added later, possibly by a different composer. Brussels 9126 has a 4vv version lacking both sextus & tenor, yet performable with only very slight awkwardness."

¶Lyrics / Text

Huc me sydereo descendere jussit Olympo hic me crudeli vulnere fixit amor. Langueo nec quisquam nostro succurrit amori quem nequeunt dure frangere jura crucis. Pungentem capiti Dominum gestare coronam fortis amor docuit verbera tanta pati. Felle sitim magni regis satiavit amaro pectus ut hauriret lancea fecit amor. De me solus amor potuit perferre triumphum ille pedes clavis fixit et ille manus. Si cupis ergo animi mihi signa rependere grati dilige pro tantis sat mihi solus amor. Tenor: Plangent eum quasi unigenitum quia innocens Dominus occisus est.
