Original text and translations
Latin text
- Pulchrae sunt genae tuae sicut turturis,
- collum tuum sicut monilia.
- Murenulas aureas faciemus tibi
- vermiculatas argento.
- Dum esset rex in accubitu suo,
- nardus mea dedit odorem suavitatis.
English translation
- Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove's,
- thy neck as jewels.
- We will make thee chains of gold,
- inlaid with silver.
- While the king was at his repose,
- my spikenard sent forth the odour thereof.
