(Baritone and Chorus)
Circa mea pectora
Multa sunt suspiria
De tua pulchritudine,
Que me ledunt misere.
Manda liet,
Manda liet
Min geselle
Chumet niet.
Tui lucent oculi
Sicut solis radii,
Sicut splendor fulguris
Lucem donat tenebris.
Manda liet
Manda liet,
Min geselle
Chumet niet.
Vellet deus, vallent dii
Quod mente proposui:
Ut eius virginea
Reserassem vincula.
Manda liet,
Manda liet,
Min geselle
Chumet niet.
