Thanks, Monica. You've saved me search through HMB at any rate. I suspect it's one of the strombotti/ frottole somewhere in the Tromboncino intabulations as are Poi che'l ciel and Poi che volse but he doesn't do us the favor of naming it. It's certainly set up like a frottole w/ its two sections and light approach.
While there are just _so_ many it is fun to search through them. Btw, I've been setting some for lute and/or ren. guitar and they can fit very nicely. It's a shame we don't have any extant guitar repertory from the time so I've been trying to build one.

It consists of a single stanza of eight hendecasyllabic lines etc.........Musical settings often have only two phrases each repeated four times in alternation....a separate phrase for the final couplet may be included... Perhaps Dalza's Calata is in the form of a strambotto...The Calata is an early 16th century dance form. Hope that information is of some use.
