Add per-feast Vespers office overrides for all 30 duplex-majus+ ids

Same eligibility rule as Lauds' psalmody override (a duplex-majus+
saint, or a named temporal feast), factored out to
resolve-common.ts's getOfficeOverrideId since Vespers has no
psalmody-override table of its own to piggyback eligibility on.

Authored via one live command=prayVespera query per id, reusing the
same clean per-saint dates already established for each one's Lauds
office-bundle override. The capitulum turned out to be byte-identical
between Lauds and Vespers for every one of the 30 ids checked, a real
Monastic-rite fact rather than a coincidence — so no
vespers-capitulum-<id>.yml files exist at all; the chapter falls
through to the already-authored lauds-capitulum-<id> directly instead
of duplicating identical content.

St. Scholastica's Vespers responsory, hymn, and versicle needed a hand
translation (same gap she has at Lauds/Terce/Sext/None — the reference
engine has no English for any of her proper content). Two more
one-line English gaps in the shared Immaculate Conception/Nativity of
the BVM responsory were filled with the standard Douay-Rheims/Ave
Maria wording.

Christe Redémptor ómnium,
Consérva tuos fámulos,
Beátæ semper Vírginis
Placátus sanctis précibus.
Beáta quoque ágmina
Cæléstium Spirítuum,
Prætérita, præséntia,
Futúra mala péllite.
Vates ætérni Júdicis,
Apostolíque Dómini,
Supplíciter expóscimus
Salvári vestris précibus.
Mártyres Dei ínclyti,
Confessorésque lúcidi,
Vestris oratiónibus
Nos ferte in cæléstibus.
Chorus sanctárum Vírginum,
Monachorúmque ómnium,
Simul cum Sanctis ómnibus,
Consórtes Christi fácite.
Gentem auférte pérfidam
Credéntium de fínibus,
Ut Christo laudes débitas
Persolvámus alácriter.
Glória Patri ingénito,
Ejúsque Unigénito,
Una cum Sancto Spíritu,

O Christ, thy guilty people spare!
Lo, kneeling at thy gracious throne,
thy Virgin-Mother pours her prayer,
Imploring pardon for her own.
Ye angels, happy evermore!
Who in your circles nine ascend,
As ye have guarded us before,
So still from harm our steps defend.
Ye prophets and Apostles high!
Behold our penitential tears;
And plead for us when death is nigh,
our all-searching judge appears.
Ye martyrs all! a purple band,
And confessors, a white-robed train;
Oh, call us to our native land,
From this our exile, back again.
And ye, O choirs of virgins chaste!
Receive us to your seats on high;
With hermits whom the desert waste
Sent up of old into the sky.
To God the Father glory be,
And to his sole-begotten Son;
And glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
While everlasting ages run.
Amen.

Thee, O Christ, the Father's splendour,
Life and virtue of the heart,
In the presence of the Angels
Sing we now with tuneful art,
Meetly in alternate chorus
Bearing our responsive part.
Thus we praise with veneration
All the armies of the sky;
Chiefly him, the warrior Primate,
Of celestial chivalry,
Michael, who in princely virtue
Cast Abaddon from on high.
By whose watchful care repelling -
King of everlasting grace -
Every ghostly adversary,
All things evil, all things base,
Grant us of thine only goodness
In thy Paradise a place.
Laud and honour to the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, co-eternal,
While unending ages run.

The first verse of the following hymn is said genuflecting.
Ave, star of ocean,
Child divine who barest,
Mother, ever-Virgin,
Heaven's portal fairest.
Taking that sweet Ave
Erst by Gabriel spoken,
Eva's name reversing,
Be of peace the token.
Break the sinners' fetters,
Light to blind restoring,
All our ills dispelling,
Every boon imploring.
Show thyself a mother
In thy supplication;
He will hear who chose thee
At his incarnation.
Maid all maids excelling,
Passing meek and lowly,
Win for sinners pardon,
Make us chaste and holy.
As we onward journey
Aid our weak endeavour,
Till we gaze on Jesus
And rejoice forever.

Three in One confessing,
Give we equal glory
Equal praise and blessing.

Thou Christ, O King eternally;
O Framer of the mind and heart,
Our one true Judge we say thou art.
The wicked protest, wail and cry,
Christ Jesus reign they would deny;
Rejoice we at thy glorious name,
Thou Highest King we do proclaim.
O Christ! The Source of all our peace,
Make all our sinful thoughts to cease;
And still in us our loves misplaced,
As Thy one sheepfold be we embraced.
For this, hanging on cruel tree,
With arms outstretched, for all to see;
His heart is pierced by soldiers spear,
Revealing burning love most dear.
From this the altar of the tree
Thy blood flows forth from Calvary;
As wine to us it doth appear,
To thine own heart it draws us near.
Thou Governor of all that be,
May all thy creatures honour thee;
All those who rule, O Lord renew!
Source of all precepts just and true.
To regal glory, all submit,
All crowns and honours we do remit;—
To thy scepter—so sweet and mild!
Submit we as a little child.
All glory be, Jesu, to thee,
Thy scepter over all that be;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

Streams down in golden rays to grace this holy day
Which crowned the princes of the Apostles' glorious choir,
And unto guilty mortals showed the heavenward way.

Rome's founders twain and rulers too of every land,
Triumphant over death by sword and shameful cross,
With laurel crowned are gathered to the eternal band.
O happy Rome! who in thy martyr princes' blood,
A twofold stream, art washed and doubly sanctified.
All earthly beauty thou alone outshinest far,
Empurpled by their outpoured life-blood's glorious tide.
All honour, power, and everlasting jubilee
To Him who all things made and governs here below,
To God in essence One, and yet in persons Three,
Both now and ever, while unending ages flow.

While Christ's disciples, grieving, sad,
Their master's painful death deplore,
Whom faithless servants' cruel hands,
Had bathed in his own crimson gore;
Quick from the happy realms above,
An angel comes on joyful wing,
And to the women tells the joy
That to his flock their Lord will bring.
As they with eager steps make haste,
Their joyous message to repeat,
Their master's glorious form they see,
And falling clasp his sacred feet.
Cheered by this tale, his faithful flock
The Galilean mount ascend,
And there with loving awe behold
Their heart's sole wish, their truest friend.
That thou mayst be our Paschal joy
Through happy, never-ending years,
thine own poor children, Jesu, free
From sin's sad death with all its fears.
To Thee Who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, Thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.

Now let the earth with joy resound,
And heaven the chant re-echo round;
Nor heaven nor earth too high can raise
The great Apostles' glorious praise.
O ye who, throned in glory dread,
Shall judge the living and the dead,
Lights of the world forevermore!
To you the suppliant prayer we pour.
Ye close the sacred gates on high;
At your command apart they fly:
Oh! loose for us the guilty chain
We strive to break, and strive in vain.
Sickness and health your voice obey;
At your command they go or stay:
From sin's disease our souls restore;
In good confirm us more and more.
So when the world is at its end,
And Christ to judgement shall descend,
May we be called those joys to see
Prepared from all eternity.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.

Exsúltet cælum láudibus,

Now let the earth with joy resound,
And heaven the chant re-echo round;
Nor heaven nor earth too high can raise
The great Apostles' glorious praise.
O ye who, throned in glory dread,
Shall judge the living and the dead,
Lights of the world forevermore!
To you the suppliant prayer we pour.
Ye close the sacred gates on high;
At your command apart they fly:
Oh! loose for us the guilty chain
We strive to break, and strive in vain.
Sickness and health your voice obey;
At your command they go or stay:
From sin's disease our souls restore;
In good confirm us more and more.
So when the world is at its end,
And Christ to judgement shall descend,
May we be called those joys to see
Prepared from all eternity.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.

While Christ's disciples, grieving, sad,
Their master's painful death deplore,
Whom faithless servants' cruel hands,
Had bathed in his own crimson gore;
Quick from the happy realms above,
An angel comes on joyful wing,
And to the women tells the joy
That to his flock their Lord will bring.
As they with eager steps make haste,
Their joyous message to repeat,
Their master's glorious form they see,
And falling clasp his sacred feet.
Cheered by this tale, his faithful flock
The Galilean mount ascend,
And there with loving awe behold
Their heart's sole wish, their truest friend.
That thou mayst be our Paschal joy
Through happy, never-ending years,
thine own poor children, Jesu, free
From sin's sad death with all its fears.
To Thee Who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, Thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.

O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.
He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.
Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.
With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.
Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.

This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
Into his glory.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that lifes vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earths mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.

Thee, blessed spouse of Christ, thee, dove of virgins, the dwellers of
heaven extol with praises, O Scholastica: our hearts greet thee with
joyful voices.
Having once learned to spurn the sceptres of the world together with
its crowns, and having followed the teaching of thy brother and of
the holy Rule, thou didst learn, through the fragrance of graces, to
seek the stars.
O mighty power of love! O glory of that victory! When thou didst
force floods of tears to pour down like rain, thou didst receive from
the lips of the father of Nursia words of heaven.
Thou shinest with the longed-for light at the summit of the heavens,
radiant with the flames of charity and the brightness of grace:
joined to thy Spouse, thou dost rest in the beauty of glory.
Now, in thy kindness, drive the clouds from the hearts of the
faithful, that the everlasting sun of light, shining with a serene
face, may fill us with the joys of unending brightness.
Let us sing glory to the Father and to the only Son; let us offer
equal tribute to the glorious Paraclete, by whose will the ages are
created and governed. Amen.

# live query, 2029-12-26, the same clean date already used for lauds-capitulum-st-stephen-protomartyr.yml. This hymn's closing doxology stanza is seasonally variable in the source (tagged `{Doxology: NatT}`); what's captured here is whatever rendered live on the query date above, not a season-aware substitution -- same known-not-modeled gap as the Paschaltide alleluia suffix elsewhere (see TODO.md).

Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.
Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blandiménta nóxia
Cadúca rite députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Pro te effúndens sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.
Glória tibi, Dómine,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.
He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.
Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.
With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.
All honour, praise and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father, and to Paraclete.
Amen.

Exsúltet cælum láudibus,
Resúltet terra gáudiis:
Apostolórum glóriam
Sacra canunt solémnia.
Vos sæcli justi júdices,
Et vera mundi lúmina,
Votis precámur córdium,
Audíte preces súpplicum.
Qui cælum verbo cláuditis,
Serásque ejus sólvitis:
Nos a peccátis ómnibus
Sólvite jussu, quǽsumus.
Quorum præcépto súbditur,
Salus, et languor ómnium:
Sanáte ægros móribus,
Nos reddéntes virtútibus.
Ut, cum Judex advénerit
Christus in fine sǽculi,

Fáciat esse cómpotes.
Deo Patri sit glória,

Now let the earth with joy resound,
And heaven the chant re-echo round;
Nor heaven nor earth too high can raise
The great Apostles' glorious praise.
O ye who, throned in glory dread,
Shall judge the living and the dead,
Lights of the world forevermore!
To you the suppliant prayer we pour.
Ye close the sacred gates on high;
At your command apart they fly:
Oh! loose for us the guilty chain
We strive to break, and strive in vain.
Sickness and health your voice obey;
At your command they go or stay:
From sin's disease our souls restore;
In good confirm us more and more.
So when the world is at its end,
And Christ to judgement shall descend,
May we be called those joys to see
Prepared from all eternity.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.
