Import St. Benedict's own proper Lauds/Vespers content
Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617),
2033-03-21 (clean year), cross-checked directly against the source's own
Monastic-specific file (SanctiM/03-21.txt), which carries a full proper
office for his Transitus despite the plain secular Sancti file having
none.

Own chapter (Eccli 50:6-7, "Ecce Confessor magnus") and own hymns at
both hours ("Inter ætérnas súperum corónas" Lauds, "Láudibus cives
résonent canóris" Vespers, recounting Subiaco and the founding of Monte
Cassino). Lauds responsory/versicle and Vespers versicle turn out
byte-identical to Common-of-a-Confessor-Bishop's own -- authored
explicitly under his own id rather than left to fall through, since his
actual common (common-of-an-abbot) resolves to a different Confessor-
Not-Bishop responsory that would be wrong here. Vespers has its own
proper responsory invoking him by name ("Sancte Pater Benedícte").
Neither hymn (nor the chapter) has an English rendering in the reference
engine -- own translations, marked draft.

Inter ætérnas súperum corónas,
Quas sacro partas rétinent agóne,
Emicas celsis méritis corúscus,
O Benedícte!
Sancta te compsit púerum senéctus,
Nil sibi de te rápuit volúptas,
Aruit mundi tibi flos, ad alta
Mente leváto.
Hinc fuga lapsus, pátriam, paréntes
Déseris, fervens némorum colónus;
Edomas carnem, subigísque Christo
Tortor acérbus.
Ne diu tutus látebras fovéres,
Digna te produnt óperum piórum;
Spárgitur felix céleri per orbem
Fama volátu.
Glória Patri genitǽque Proli,
Et tibi compar utriúsque semper,
Spíritus alme, Deus unus, omni
Témpore sæcli. Amen.

Among the eternal crowns of the blessed,
Won and held fast through holy contest,
You shine forth radiant with lofty merits,
O Benedict!
A holy old age adorned you while a boy still,
No pleasure ever seized its share of you,
The world's flower withered for you, your mind
Already lifted on high.
Hence, fleeing ruin, your homeland and parents
You leave, an ardent dweller of the forest;
You tame the flesh, and, its harsh tormentor,
Subdue it wholly to Christ.
Lest you too long keep safe your hidden refuge,
Worthy deeds of holiness reveal you;
Your happy fame is scattered through the whole world
Borne on swift wing.
Glory to the Father and the begotten Son,
And, ever equal to them both, to you,
Kindly Spirit, one God, through every
Age of the world. Amen.
