Original text and translations

Latin text Descendi in hortum meum, ut viderem poma convallium, et inspicerem si floruisset vinea et germinassent mala punica. Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis, ut intueamur te.

English translation I went down into my garden to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded. Return, return, O Shulamite, that we might look upon thee.
