"Dedicated to Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle. The Quintus and Sextus parts sing Granvelle's motto: Durate as a cantus firmus in "soggetto cavato" technique, they sing "ut fa re", the vowels of "Durate" (u, a, e) on the hexachordum naturale (C-F-D), on the hexachordum molle (F-B flat-G) and the hexachordum durum (G-C-A), while the other 4 parts sing Virgil's text."

O socii durate, o socii neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum o passi graviora dabit deus his quoque finem, experti revocate animos moestumque timorem mittite, forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit. Per varios casus per tot discrimina rerum tendimus, ostendunt sedes ubi fata secundas durate et vosmet rebus servate secundis. Cantus firmus: Durate.
