Author Common-of-Several-Martyrs Lauds/Vespers chapter/responsory/hymn/versicle

Next-largest remaining Common category (22 real users) with no Lauds/ Vespers bundle authored, same fix pattern as Confessor-Not-Bishop and Martyr(-Bishop). Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617) votive=C3: chapter Sap 3:1-3, Lauds hymn "Rex glorióse Mártyrum," Vespers hymn "Sanctórum méritis ínclyta gáudia," shared versicle "Exsultábunt Sancti in glória." Cross-checked votive=C3/C3a/C3b byte-identical, confirming the Missal-collect split (plain-martyrs vs. Pope-martyrs) doesn't carry through to this Office bundle. Proof tested on Ss. Placid and Companions (Duplex II. classis, real un-outranked Second Vespers).

+    Sanctórum méritis ínclyta gáudia
+
+    Pangámus, sócii, géstaque fórtia:
+
+    Nam gliscit ánimus prómere cántibus
+
+    Victórum genus óptimum.
+
+
+    Hi sunt quos rétinens mundus inhórruit:
+
+    Ipsum nam stérili flore peráridum
+
+    Sprevére pénitus, teque secúti sunt,
+
+    Rex Christe bone cǽlitus.
+
+
+    Hi pro te fúrias atque ferócia
+
+    Calcárunt hóminum, sǽvaque vérbera:
+
+    Cessit his lácerans fórtiter úngula,
+
+    Nec carpsit penetrália.
+
+
+    Cædúntur gládiis more bidéntium:
+
+    Non murmur résonat, non querimónia:
+
+    Sed corde tácito mens bene cónscia
+
+    Consérvat patiéntiam.
+
+
+    Quæ vox, quæ póterit lingua retéxere,
+
+    Quæ tu Martyribus múnera prǽparas?
+
+    Rubri nam flúido sánguine láureis
+
+    Ditántur bene fúlgidis.
+
+
+    Te summa Déitas únaque póscimus,
+
+    Ut culpas ábluas, nóxia súbtrahas,
+
+    Des pacem fámulis, nos quoque glóriam
+
+    Per cuncta tibi sǽcula. Amen.

+    Sing, O sons of the Church sounding the martyrs' praise!
+
+    God's true soldiers applaud, who, in their weary days,
+
+    Won bright trophies of good, glad be the voice ye raise,
+
+    While these heroes of Christ ye sing!
+
+
+    They, while yet in the world were by the world abhorred;
+
+    Felt how fading the joys, fleeting the wealth it stored;
+
+    Spurned all pleasure for thee, and at thy call, O Lord,
+
+    Came forth strong in thy name, as King.
+
+
+    Lord, how bravely they bore fury and pain for thee!
+
+    Scourge, rod, sword, and the rack strongly endured; but free
+
+    Sang out, bold in thy love, longing on high to be;
+
+    Earth's might never their souls could bend.
+
+
+    While they, shedding their blood, victims for Jesus fell,
+
+    No sound out of their lips came of their throes to tell;
+
+    Bowed low, patient and meek, loving the Lord so well,
+
+    Turned they still to the Christ, their friend.
+
+
+    What joys, bright with the blood shed for thy love they share,
+
+    Those brave martyrs of thine crowned with thy laurels rare;
+
+    Man's tongue never can tell, never can half declare,
+
+    How pure now is their bliss above!
+
+
+    Yet we, Father on high, God of eternal might,
+
+    Lift weak voices in prayer asking for peace and light;
+
+    Cleanse thou out of our hearts every stain and blight,
+
+    So our songs may be songs of love. Amen.
