Song of Solomon 4:7,11; 2:11–13; 4:8

Latin text

Tota pulchra es, amica mea, et macula non est in te;

favus distillans labia tua; mel et lac sub lingua tua;

odor unguentorum tuorum super omnia aromata:

jam enim hiems transiit, imber abiit et recessit.

Flores apparuerunt; vineae florentes odorem dederunt,

et vox turturis audita est in terra nostra:

surge, propera, amica mea: veni de Libano, veni, coronaberis.

English translation

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.

Your lips distil nectar; honey and milk are under your tongue;

the scent of your perfumes is beyond all spices.

For now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

The flowers have appeared; the flowering vines have given forth their fragrance,

and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land.

Arise, my love, my fair one; come from Lebanon, come, you will be crowned.
