Original text and translations

Latin text

Oculi eius sicut columbæ super rivulos aquarum
quæ lacte sunt lotæ et resident iuxta fluenta plenissima
Genæ illius sicut areolæ aromatum,consitæ a pigmentarijs
Labia eius lilia distillantia myrrham primam
Manus illius tornatiles aureæ plenæ hyacinthis

English translation

His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters,
washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers:
his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl.

(KJV)
