By some unknown means, Daza evidently had access to the 1544 volume of four-voice motets by Simon Boyleau. He is the only vihuela composer to have intabulated music by Boyleau, and the works in El Parnaso are possibly the only Boyleau pieces intabulated by any sixteenth-century instrumentalist. “Deus meus” is the 2a pars of “Domine ne longe facias”, a text associated with the Introit of the Mass for Palm Sunday.
Deus, Deus, meus
quare me dereliquisti?
Longe a salute mea
verba delictorum meorum,
et a cornibus unicornium
humilitatem meam
