==General information==
There is a small but distinct number of settings using the same adaptation (abbreviation and re-ordering) of a passage from the Song of Solomon: Ch. 7, vv. 4-7,11,12.
The opening phrase [O] Quam pulchra es has an unfortunate portmanteau r&ocirc;le in other settings of S.o.S., for which this page is not intended, being evidenced on their peculiar workpages.

==Notes on selected settings==
<!--*[[Quam pulchra es (Noel Bauldeweyn)|Noel Bauldeweyn]] SATB
*[[Quam pulchra es (John Dunstable)|John Dunstable]] ATB-->
*[[Quam pulchra es (Johannes Lupi)|Johannes Lupi]] SATB (omits "si flores fructus parturierunt")
<!--*[[Quam pulchra es (John Pyamour)|John Pyamour]] ATB
*[[Quam pulchra es (Gaspar van Weerbeke)|Gaspar van Weerbeke]] SATB-->

{{Vs|7:6}}Quam pulchra es et quam decora carissima in deliciis (tuis)	
{{Vs|7:7}}Statura tua assimilata est palmæ, et ubera tua botris
{{Vs|7:5}} Caput tuum ut carmelus.
{{Vs|7:4}} Collum tuum sicut turris eburnea.
{{Vs|7:11}} Veni dilecte mi; egrediamur in agrum(/hortum)
{{Vs|7:12}} Et videamus si flores fructus parturiunt,
si floruerunt mala punica. Ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.
Alleluia.}}

{{Translation|English|
{{Vs|7:6}} O How fair and lovely art thou, my darling, in (your) pleasures?
{{Vs|7:7}} Thy stature is like a date tree, and thy breasts like the grapes.
{{Vs|7:5}} The head that standeth upon thee is like Carmel
{{Vs|7:4}} Thy neck is as it were a tower of ivory
{{Vs|7:11}} O come on my love, let us go forth in to the field(/garden)
{{Vs|7:12}} and go see if the grapes be grown
and if the pomegranates be shot out. There will I give thee my breasts.
Alleluia}}
Myles Coverdale, 1535
