note: carnival song, ’Canzona de’ Vecchi’ (rubric in Gall4: ‘cantasi come la canzona de’ vecchi, cioè: Deh guardate in quanti affanni’). The actual carnival song is very likely the ‘Canzona delle ninfe e de’ vecchi’, ‘Deh, porgete un po’ gli orecchi’, the first stanza of which begins ‘Risguardate in quant’affanni’. The poetic form of the carnival song is compatible with both laude that adopt it as a cc., ‘Deh volgete’, and d’Albizo’s ‘I’ non vo’ più teco stare’ (6:8 ababba). This link was first suggested by G. Ciappelli, Carnevale e Quaresima, Rome, Ed. di Storia e Letteratura 1997, 199n. The carnival song text is ed. in SingletonCC, 23-4.
