Quant'in mill'ann'il ciel dovea mostrarne di vago e dolc'in voi spiego e ripose volend'a suo diletto essempio darne delle più care sue bellezz'ascose chi non sa com'amor soglia predarne o pur di non amar seco propose fermisi a mirar voi sol una volta e fugga poi se può con l'alma sciolta

relationships with other music or with obblighi

Jacques Du Pont, «Quant'in mill'ann'il ciel dovea mostrarne», in Stanze del Bembo (1545).

The duo borrows from the original soprano in the first half of the duo, then free elaboration.
The original madrigal's time signature is C, yet Paien decided to double all the values and to be consistent throughout the collection in using the proportio dupla. The original soprano is followed quite accurately in the first half of the duo, then the music departs from, but keeps some relationship with the original.
