From Solomon among the beautiful Consorts One of whom was of the Pharoah's descent, Whose beauty emulated the Sun Behind which a royal birth silenced stars

No no, how foolish I am; Another small face The celestial beauty illuminates alone Wandering Egyptian of much beauty can not, The King of Jews makes the paragon of beauty.

That shadow of Christ at the time of Solomon was seen, The most elegant Wife is Catherine Of whom there is certain immortal Constancy and Faith.

And already each Soul today bows to them I fall silent to allow praise To the Celestial Cantor Divine

Giuseppe Apruzzi.
