Extract from «Filiæ mæstæ Jerusalem» RV 638, Part II: Sileant Zephyri
Filiæ mæstæ Jerusalem is the first of two introduzioni written to come before a setting of the Miserere. The Miserere itself is presumed to be lost. RV 638 consists of two recitatives around a single aria. This text concerns sad daughters of the Jerusalem after the death of Jesus Christ and the mourning of nature itself.

Aria - Da Capo:
Sileant zephyri
rigeant prata,
unda amata,
frondes, flores non satientur.
Mortuo flumine,
proprio lumine luna
et sol etiam priventur.

(Let the winds be rendered numb,
Let the fields freeze over,
Let the longed-for rains
Water not the leaves and flowers.
The river is dead,
Of their light
The moon and the sun are deprived.)
