À l’abris du fracas des armes, |
Sheltered from the racket of weapons, |
Allons à nos concerts mêler des chants nouveaux |
Let us mingle in our concerts new songs |
À l’honneur de tant de Héros, |
Honouring the many Heroes, |
Qui vont au milieu des allarmes |
Who head into the midst of hazards |
Nous assurer un doux repos. |
To ensure our sweet rest. |

“Jacquet de La Guerre’s original score was most likely written in five parts, after the tradition established by Lully. As only Ballard’s partition reduite survives, however, only the upper two instrumental parts and the basse continue are extant.” IMSLP
