¶Lyrics / Text

O quam moesta dies, nimium lachrimabile tempus, gaudia laetitiae procul, adsunt tristia quaeque: nunc rubeant oculi fletu. Heus, pectora planctu fracta fluant crebri singultus cordis et oris. Haec lugenda dies cecidit qua morte Philippus strenuus ille Croy: quem vere nobilitatis acta perornatum consortia sanctum secutum aeterna statuat requiescere pace redemptor.
