Due Rose il Mamol by Anonymous — Lyrics
Due Rose il Mammol mio porta nel viso,
Ch'allegra'l Paradiso,
In cui mirando sol tutta mi sfaccio,
Gioisco, avampo, & ardo entr'al mio ghiaccio.
2. Gli occhi lucenti pur sembran due stelle
Del Sol' assai più belle:
Di corai la boccuccia, e di fin' ostro,
A' denti ch'aurà poi, fidato chiostro.
3. Fronte serena, e le tranquille ciglia,
Pelle bianca, e vermiglia:
Cheto, e dolce anhelar, per cui si tiri
Fresc' aura al coricel' ond' ei respiri:

About Due Rose il Mamol
This is a devotional Italian laude for treble voices (SSB). The text paints an intimate picture of the Virgin Mary contemplating her Son, the King of Heaven. She marvels at his beauty, comparing his rosy cheeks to flowers that delight Paradise and his bright eyes to stars. His small mouth and fair skin are also described, as are his gentle sighs. The lyrics reflect on how these images pierce the singer's heart, bringing both joy and a fiery ardour. The final stanza shifts focus to the Nativity scene, with the Christ child lying in a manger, enduring the cold and heat for humanity's sake, emphasizing the divine infant's vulnerability and the profound mystery of the Incarnation.
