"The original sixth line of the lyrics is: "Ch'adornat' à RICH MOEN il vis' el petto." This does not make sense to me. There are (at least) two other settings of the same or a similar text: Andrea Gabrieli's, line is :"Quat’ ornat’ al mio som e’l vos’ e’l petto!" The other is Alessandro Orologio's setting, which is almost identical to the Mosto setting, and where the sixth line is :"Quant'ornate ad Olimpia'l vis' e'l petto". I did replace the enigmatic "RICH MOEN" by Olimpia, which at least makes some sense."

¶Lyrics / Text

Occhi sereni, Angeliche parole, Riso pien di dolcezza, Real sembiante, natural bellezza, gratia scesa dal ciel raro intelletto, Cor non finto pensier, alti et honesti Ch'adornat' à Olimpia il vis' e'l petto, O quanto sete presti, A dar mille martiri, E trar dell' alm' altrui mille sospiri.
