The Quintus and Sextus parts sing Granvelle's motto: Durate as a cantus firmus in "soggetto cavato" technique, they sing "ut fa re", the vowels of "Durate" (u, a, e) on the hexachordum naturale (C-F-D), on the hexachordum molle (F-B flat-G) and the hexachordum durum (G-C-A), while the other 4 parts sing Virgil's text.

De Labyrintho
Walter Testolin

Score: www.cpdl.org (Pothárn Imre)

O socii durate,
o socii neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum
o passi graviora dabit deus his quoque finem,
experti revocate animos moestumque timorem
mittite, forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit.
Per varios casus per tot discrimina rerum
tendimus, ostendunt sedes ubi fata secundas
durate et vosmet rebus servate secundis.

Cantus firmus:
Durate.

=== ENGLISH ===
O comrades, endure.
O comrades, for ere this we have not been ignorant of misfortune,
you who have suffered worse, this also good will end,
recall your courage and banish sad fear,
perhaps even this distress it will some day be a joy to recall.
Through varied fortunes, through countless hazards,
we journey where fate promises a home of peace,
there it is granted that Troy's realm shall rise again.
Endure, and live for happier day.

Cantus firmus:
Endure.
