Latin.png Latin text

Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum, commoremur in villis,
mane surgamus ad vineas, videamus si floruit vinea,
si flores fructus parturiunt, si floruerunt mala punica:
ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the vilages;
let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded,
whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my breasts.
