Texts and Translations

Latin text Deus Israel conju(n)gat vos et ipse sit vobiscum qui misertus est duobus unicis et nunc Domine fac eos plenius benedicere te. Surge propera amica mea, columba mea, et veni. Jam enim hiems transiit imber abiit et recessit quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbae? et volabo et requiescam. Dilectus meus mihi et ego illi qui pascitur inter lilia donec aspiret dies et inclinetur umbrae et nunc Domine fac eos plenius benedicere te.

English translation May the God of Israel join you together; and may he be with you, who took pity upon two only children: and now, O Lord, make them bless thee more fully. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away. And now, O Lord, make them bless thee more fully.
