"From Song of Songs / Songs of Solomon - Chapter 1 - Verses 10 through 12.<br> The use of ''musica ficta'' in this piece (just as in many of Palestrina's works, and unlike e.g. in Lasso's pieces) is far from straightforward. Among the recordings of this piece rather differing realisations of ''musica ficta'' can be found. This regards primarily - but is not confined to - the B flat/natural in the opening motif (genae tuae), the B flat/natural in the motif Collum tuum."

:Pulchrae sunt genae tuae sicut turturis, :collum tuum sicut monilia. :Murenulas aureas faciemus tibi :vermiculatas argento. :Dum esset rex in accubitu suo, :nardus mea dedit odorem suavitatis.
