Original text and translations

Latin text Quae est ista quae ascendit de deserto deliciis affluens innixa super dilectum suum. Tota pulchra es amica mea, suavis et decora veni de libano, soror mea sponsa, Veni, coronaberis, Tota pulchra es amica mea,suavis et decora.

English translation Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved? Thou art all fair, my love, beautiful and comely. Come from Lebanon, my sister, my spouse, and you will be crowned. Thou art all fair, my love, beautiful and comely.
