There is an entrance by the bassus in measure three that appears to indicate a PEn, but it acts as a false entrance for the bassus part beginning in measure 4.

Almost Exact repetition, but written out, no use of repeat sign. The only variation is in the Ct in bar 13-14 which anticipates the tenor line in bar 14.

Comments

The contratenor entrance in 39 appears to act as a third entrance, creating a PEn, but the melody proceeds in a way that does not match the contour of the first two entrances.

Text Overlap

Comments

The overlap occurs on the word "elle" which is the final word of phrase 7 and the first word of phrase 8. This results in more distortion of the phrase structure than is typical with text overlap.
