Mudarra’s third biblical romance, this time inspired by David’s lamentation on the death of Saul and Jonathan. The vocal part is notated on a separate mensural staff with three voices in tablature. The melody seems possibly inspired by some type of recitation formula
Israel mira tus montes
Como están ensangrentados
De la sangre de tus nobles,
De tus nobles y esforçados.
¡Ay, dolor! ¡Cómo cayeron
Varones tan estimados!»
