Most think, it's about some religious thing. That's why e.g. this piece is performed in a religious environment, like a church. Well, to disappoint you or not, but this madrigal is about of very fleshy love, not to the Madonna but to a lady. "please, have me some mercy and quench out my fire ..." It's just some earthly lust... But very nice music!

Honestly, we just performed in a church because of the acoustics ;)
Dus iets meer met kracht zingen wanneer het vuur gedoofd moet worden!
