Daniel récompensé / Daniel Adorned - Conductus: Solvitur in libro Salomonis

Solvitur in libro Salomonis, digna laus et congrua matronis.
Pretium est eius si quam fortis procul et de finibus remotis.
Fidens est in ea cor mariti, spoliis divitibus potiti.
Mulier hae illi comparetur cujus rex subsidium meretur.
Ejus nam facundia verborum arguit prudentiam doctorum.
Nos quibus occasio ludendi hac die conceditur solemni.
Demus huic praeconia devoti, veniant et concinent remoti.

Processional for the departure of the Queen:
In the book of Solomon there lies worthy and apt praise for womankind:
her worth is far beyond the limits of this world.
Her husband safely entrusts his heart to her, he is master of rich spoils.
This woman is comparable, who gives succour to the King.
The eloquence of her words outshone the wisdom of the wise men.
Now, we who on this feast·day have been allowed to perform our play-
let us offer to her our devoted praise, and may those from far off join in our song.

Conduit pour le départ de la reine:
Le Livre de Salomon fait un digne et pertinent éloge de la femme:
sa valeur dépasse les limites de ce monde.
Son époux lui confie son cœur et ses richesses.
Cette femme lui est comparable, qui vient au secours du roi.
Son éloquence a fait pâlir la sagesse des conseillers.
Nous qui aujourd'hui avons permission de représenter ce Jeu --
offrons·lui louange et dévotion, et que tous chantent avec nous.
