Original text and translations

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; ibi dabo tibi ubera mea. Alleluia.

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: there will I give thee my loves. Alleluia.
