1. Rejoice, you who are lofty in name, rank, and the heights,

    in a fortunate son, attended by delight.

  2. Because of him, the cups came one after another, brimming with pure bliss;

    for if one cup passes, another comes after it.

  3. Through him, joys were sewn into the fairest robe,

    with which bodies, spirit, and soul adorned themselves.

  4. Above glory there arose a radiant sun.

    Good fortune is her constellation; no ill-star comes near it.

  5. Glory is his cradle, and lofty honors his foster-mothers;

    Sublimity nurses him, bending tenderly and never turning harsh.

  6. How lovely a newborn, whose father you are!

    People congratulate you on him—and so do speechless tongues.

  7. Glad tidings! Set down the chronogram, “A son of glory”; for indeed he

    is surely a star, a full moon in the heights—he is the sun.

Sol 5.6
