MUSIC FOR THE DANCE OF THE TARANTATI, FROM ATHAN. KIRCHER. _Magness. de Arte magnetica. Rom. 1654. fol. p. 591.—Repeated in Sam. Hafenreffer, Nosodochium, in quo cutis affectus traduntur. Ulm. 1660. 8vo. p. 485._ [Illustration: I. _Primus modus Tarantella._] [Illustration: II. _Secundus modus._] [Illustration: III. _Tertius modus._] [Illustration: IV. _Antidotum Tarantulæ._] [Illustration: V.] Stu pettu è fattu Cimbalu d’Amuri: Tasti li sensi mobili, e accorti: Cordi li chianti, sospiri, e duluri: Rosa è lu Cori miu feritu à morti: Strali è lu ferru, chiai so li miei arduri: Marteddu è lu pensieri, e la mia sorti: Mastra è la Donna mia, ch’à tutti l’huri Cantando canta leta la mia morti. Some strophes, which are no longer extant, were usually sung between these and the following lines:— Allu mari mi portati, Se voleti che mi sanati. Allu mari, alla via: Cosi m’ama la Donna mia. Allu mari, allu mari: Mentre campo, t’aggio amari.
