Latin text
6 Quam pulchra es et quam decora, carissima, in deliciis!
7 Statura tua assimilata est palmae, et ubera tua botris.
5a Caput tuum ut Carmelus;
4a collum tuum sicut turris eburnea.
11a Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum;
12b videamus si flores fructus parturierunt, si floruerunt mala punica; |
English translation
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
5a Thine head upon thee is like Carmel;
4a Thy neck is as a tower of ivory;
11a Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field;
12b let us see if... the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: |
