Original text and translations
Alfred Einstein says in his "The Italian Madrigal" (II) that this madrigal and Vita de la mia vita must have been written to order, as they have similar headings in the old editions, namely "Pallore di madonna desiato" and "Pallore di madonna grato", respectively. While the statement that they would have been written to order does not necessarily follow from that fact, they were obviously written together, and Marenzio also put them side by side in his collection.
