Se mai la tua virtù vince la guerra-a Str6:11 (ababcc)
Lauda Poet:
Feo Belcari
Notes:
note: according to BecheriniSR, 226, Belcari’s lauda was sung by a chorus of Hebrews after their subjection by Holofernes in the Rappresentazione di Juditha Hebrea.
note: alternate cc. = rispetti. Lauda re. St. Matthew. See ‘Se mai lo vice Re vien ista terra’ as cc. for ‘Se mai la tua virtù’. The poetic form of the cc. is technically that of a rispetto. According to BecheriniSR, 226, Belcari’s lauda was sung by a chorus of Hebrews after their subjection by Holofernes in the Rappresentazione di Juditha Hebrea.
note: the form of this and the other laude paired with this cc. are unusual, and might also be construed as a BaMz3/9:11 (xyy abcabccdd), with a refrain unrelated to the strophe by rhyme.
