The piece which should follow Cur Sagittas is lost. Vivaldi scholar Michael Talbot has conjectured that it might precede either the Kyrie RV 587 or a lost setting of the Gloria. [2] The form is again two arias surrounding a central recitative. The first aria speaks of mythical creatures in conflict with a man of faith.
