Byrd, William: Ad Dominum cum tribularer II


Ad Dominum cum tribularer (Second Part)

Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar; multum incola fuit anima mea. Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus. Ego pacem loquebar, et illi bellum conclamabant.

Woe is me, that I must live among the tents of Kedar. Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

Words: Psalm 120 vv.4–6
Music: William Byrd (c. 1540–1623)
