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.
