"Micyllus's ''Sylvarum libri quinque'' presents two poems under the title ''Confide et ama''. The first, ''Confisus Domino'', was set by Confisus Domino (Ioannes Pinchon) and by Confisus Domino (Orlando di Lasso); both settings are included in ''Thesaurus musicus'' and feature the text ''Confide et ama'' ("trust and love", the motto of George of Austria (1505–1557), illegitimate son of Emperor Maximilan I and Prince-Bishop of Liège) as an ostinato. ''Vivere vis recte'' is the second poem, which was also set by Vivere vis recte (Leonhard Lechner) (again with ''Confide et ama'' as an ostinato) and its first half by Vivere vis recte (Derrick Gerarde).<br/> This piece also has ''Confide et ama'' as an ostinato, but here it is treated as a canon. In the source, the quintus (T2) part is marked "Canon", but the resolution to the canon (B1) is not provided. The bass part has a 2-flat key signature (before transposition); the other parts have one flat."
