- CPDL #25676: Capella
- Editor: James Gibb (submitted 2012-03-02). Score information: A4, 4 pages, 41 kB Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes: In original key. Transcribed from the facsimile edition, with the Superius set for Soprano, and Medius parts and Contratenor for Alto. Spelling modernised and wording of underlay standardised across parts. The facsimile is unclear in the Medius on "die", (Alto I, Bar 28 in this edition). What has been inserted editorially works musically, but may not be what Mundy intended.

Penelope, that longèd for the sight
Of her Ulysses, wand’ring all too long,
Felt never joy, wherein she took delight,
Although she liv’d in greatest joys among.
So I, poor wretch, possessing that I crave,
Both live and lack, by wrong of thee I have:
Then blame me not, although to heavens I cry,
And pray the gods that shortly I might die.
