Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum...
Language: Latin  after the Hebrew (עברית)
1 Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum ad areolam aromatum, ut pascatur in hortis, et lilia colligat. 2 Ego dilecto meo, et dilectus meus mihi, qui pascitur inter lilia. 3 Pulchra es, amica mea; suavis, et decora sicut Jerusalem; terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata. 4 Averte oculos tuos a me, quia ipsi me avolare fecerunt. Capilli tui sicut grex caprarum quæ apparuerunt de Galaad. 5 Dentes tui sicut grex ovium quæ ascenderunt de lavacro: omnes gemellis fœtibus, et sterilis non est in eis. 6 Sicut cortex mali punici, sic genæ tuæ, absque occultis tuis. 7 Sexaginta sunt reginæ, et octoginta concubinæ, et adolescentularum non est numerus. 8 Una est columba mea, perfecta mea, una est matris suæ, electa genetrici suæ. Viderunt eam filiæ, et beatissimam prædicaverunt; reginæ et concubinæ, et laudaverunt eam. 9 Quæ est ista quæ progreditur quasi aurora consurgens, pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol, terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata? 10 Descendi in hortum [nucum]1, ut viderem poma convallium, et inspicerem si floruisset vinea, et germinassent mala punica. 11 Nescivi: anima mea conturbavit me, propter quadrigas Aminadab. 12 Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis! revertere, revertere ut intueamur te.
