O tu ch'innanzi morte (L'Orfeo)

O tu ch'innanzi mort'a queste rive
Temerario te'n vieni, arresta i passi
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:41) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
O tu ch'innanzi mort'a queste rive
Temerario te'n vieni, arresta i passi
Solcar quest'onde ad huom mortal non dassi
Ne può co'morti albergo haver chi vive
Che? voi forse nemico al mio signore
Cerbero trar da le tartaree porte O rapir
brami sua cara consorte D'impudico
desire acceso il core? Pon fre no al
foll'ardir, ch'entr'al mio legno No accorro
più mai corporea salma Sì de
gli antichi oltragg'ancor nel'alma Serbo
acerba memoria e giusto sdegno.
