LATIN TEXT

Aria.

Nulla in mundo pax sincera sine felle; pura et vera, dulcis Jesu, est in te.
Inter poenas et tormenta vivit anima contenta casti amoris sola spe.

Recitative.

Blando colore oculos mundus decepit at occulto vulnere corda conficit; fugiamus ridentem, vitemus sequentem, nam delicias ostentando arte secura vellet ludendo superare.

Aria.

Spirat anguis inter flores et colores explicando tegit fel. Sed occulto factus ore homo demens in amore saepe lambit quasi mel.

Alleluia.
