Original text and translations
Song of Solomon 7:1–2
Latin text
- Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui in calceamentis, filia principis!
- Iuncturae femorum tuorum sicut monilia quae fabricata sunt manu artificis;
- umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis, numquam indigens poculis.
- Venter tuus sicut acervus tritici, vallatus liliis.
English translation
- How graceful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter!
- The joints of your thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
- Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine.
- Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
