• CPDL #25285:  [ Capella]

Editor: James Gibb (submitted 2012-01-05).   Score information: A4, 7 pages, 67 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Based on #15052, with corrections, including major realignment of the Cantus underlay between bars 3 and 72. In most cases, the realignment needed is obvious; Bars 70-72 are putative. In addition, the rather exotic rhythm in bar 72 has been simplified. Transposed down a tone.

English text

I follow, lo! the footing still of my lovely cruel:
Proud of herself, that she is beauty's jewel:
And fast away she flieth, love's sweet delight deriding,
In woods and groves sweet, sweet nature's treasure hiding.
Yet cease I not pursuing; but since I thus have sought her,
Will run me out of breath, till I have caught her.
