Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina - Sicut Cervus (Psalm 42)
English Translation:
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” http://niv.scripturetext.com/psalms/42.htm

Vivaldi: ‘Gelido in ogni vena’ (Farnace, RV711)
English Translation: I feel my blood like ice coursing through every vein / The shade of my lifeless son afflicts me with terror / and to make my agony worse, I see that I was cruel / to an innocent soul, to my heart’s beloved.
