Original text and translations

Song of Solomon 2:6–7

Latin text Leva eius sub capite meo et dextera illius amplexabitur me. Adiuro vos, filiae Jerusalem, per capreas cervosque camporum, ne suscitetis neque evigilare faciatis dilectam, quoadusque ipsa velit.

English translation His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me. I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the harts of the field, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake, till she please.

Hungarian translation Balkeze a fejem alatt, és jobbjával átölel engem. Kérlek titeket, Jeruzsálem leányai, a vadkecskékre és a mezei szarvasokra föl ne költsétek, és föl ne ébresszétek kedvesemet, amíg maga nem akarja.

Dutch translation Laat zijn linkerarm onder mijn hoofd zijn en zijn rechterarm mij omhelzen. Ik bezweer jullie, meisjes van Jeruzalem, bij de reeën en de herten op het veld, wek de liefde niet, wakker haar niet aan voordat zij eraan toe is. Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge & Hanneke Pot
