Latin text
Song of Songs 1:4
Nigra sum sed Formosa
Filia Jerusalem (sic!)
Ideo dilexit me Rex
Et introduxit me in cubiculum suum
Song of Songs 1:5
Nolite me considerare
quod fusca sim quia decoloravit me sol
Posuerunt me custodem
in vineis
Song of Songs 2:5
Fulcite me floribus,
stipate me malis,
quia amore langueo.
Translation: I am black but beautiful, Daughter of Jerusalem Therefore have I pleased the Lord and he hath brought me into his chamber
Look not upon me,
because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me
they made me the keeper of the vineyards
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
