Title: Cum doctorum et magorum
Lyrics:
Conductus reginae venientis id regem:
Cum doctorum et magorum omnis adsit
contio
Secum volvit neque solvit quae sit manus
visio
Ecce prudens styrpe cluens dives cum
potentia
In vestitu deaurato conjunx adest regia
Haec latentem promet vatem per cujus
indicium
Rex describi suum ibi noverit exitium
Laetis ergo haec virago comitetur
plausibus
Cordis orisque sonoris personetur
vocibus
---------------------------------------------------
Conductus for the Queen as she comes to the King:
Whilst the learned and the wise men are all
assembled together
they ponder among themselves but cannot interpret
the vision of the hand,
Behold the wise woman, well-born, rich and powerful
beautifully dressed in golden raiment; the royal
spouse is here!
She will bring out of concealment the prophet by
whose counsel the King will hear that his own
destruction was written there.
With joy, therefore, let this mighty woman be
accompanied with applause
and let the sound of strings and singing
resound with your voices.
