¶Lyrics / Text

Musica quid defles? Periit mea cura decusque. Estne Alexander? Is meus Agricola? Dic age qualis erat? Clarus vocum manuumque. Quis locus hunc rapuit? Vavoletanus ager. Quis Belgam hunc traxit? Magnus rex ipse Philippus. Quomorbo interiit? Febre furente abiit. Ætas quæ fuerat? Iam sexagesimus annus. Sol ubi tunc stabat? Virgineo in capite.
