Original text and translations

Latin text quae est ista tam formosa, quae ascendit per desertum quasi aurora consurgens, pulchra ut luna,electa ut sol, Surge propera, amica mea, formosa mea, immaculata mea, vulnerasti cor meum, soror mea, sponsa, in uno oculorum tuorum et in uno crine colli tui.

English translation Who is this so fair, who comes out of the desert like the rising dawn, beautiful as the moon, brilliant as the sun ? Rise up, my love, my fair one, my perfect one: thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. with one of thine eyes, with one hair of thy neck.
