Song of Solomon 1:6b–7

Latin text

Vineam meam non custodivi.

Indica mihi quem diligit anima mea,

ubi pascas, ubi cubes in meridie,

ne vagari incipiam post greges sodalium tuorum.

English translation

My vineyard I have not kept.

Tell me, you whom my soul loves,

where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon,

lest I begin to wander after the flocks of your companions.
