4:9  Vulnerasti cor meum, soror mea, sponsa: vulnerasti cor meum
in uno oculorum tuorum et in uno crine colli tui.

4:10  Quam pulchrae sunt mammae tuae soror mea sponsa, pulchriora sunt ubera tua vino
et odor unguentorum tuorum super omnia aromata.

4:8a  Veni de Libano sponsa, veni de Libano: veni coronaberis.

4:9  Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse: thou hast ravished my heart
with one of thine eyes, with one hair of thy neck.

4:10  How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse! Thy breasts are more beautiful than wine,
and the sweet smell of thy ointments above all aromatical spices.

4:8a  Come from Libanus, my spouse, come from Libanus, come: thou shalt be crowned.
(Douay-Rheims Bible)
