¶Lyrics / Text

Plangite, Pierides, dulcique Helicone relicto, Plangite doctiloqui funera acerba viri. Artes cui dederat cunctas ter magnus Apollo, Contentus vestro delicuisse choro. Flete decus vestrum neglectaque carmina cessent. Et iaceat pullo musica moesta solo. Belgica patroni deploret funus Erasmi. Plangite castali vos quoque fata viri. Cantus firmus: Cecidit corona capitis nostri.
