Original text and translations

Latin text   Vidi speciosam,   sicut columbam,   ascendentem,   desuper rivos aquarum,   cuius inæstimabilis odor erat   nimis in vestimentis eius,   et sicut dies verni,   circundabant eam,   flores rosarum,   et lilia convallium.

English translation  I saw the beautiful, like a dove, rising up, above streams of water, an unimaginable fragrance covered her clothes just as if in the days of spring, being surrounded by flowers of roses, and lilies of the valley.
