Intabulation of an Italian Villanesca alla napolitana by Baldissera Donato included in his Il primo libro di canzon villanesche alla napolitana (Venice: Antonio Gardane, [1550], no. 2). The canto part of the model is reprinted in mensural notation with the lower parts reduced to a vihuela accompaniment. Ward was the first to attribute it to Donato without providing source details. Other attributions suggested include Rogier, Willaert and Pathie. The Willaert verdsion needs to be checked to see its connection with the Donato version.
Se pur ti guardo
Dolce anima mia
Tu me ne trai
del peto il vivo core caro thesoro
Viso mio bello
Deh non mi dar tanto martello
ch'io son pur tuo servitore
Deh non mi far morir
O dolce anima mia.
