Rien ne peut échapper à sa sagesse extrême, |
Nothing can evade his exceptional wisdom, |
L’Orgueil est pour jamais à ses pieds abbattu. |
Pride lies forever defeated at his feet. |

“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
