Original text and translations

Latin text Multae filiae congregaverunt divitias; tu supergressa es universas. Fallax gratia, et vana est pulchritudo: mulier timens Dominum, ipsa laudabitur.

English translation Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
