Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[ Sponsa Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum ad areolam aromatum, ut pascatur in hortis, et lilia colligat.
1Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
2Ego dilecto meo, et dilectus meus mihi, qui pascitur inter lilia.
2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
3Sponsus Pulchra es, amica mea; suavis, et decora sicut Jerusalem; terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata.
3I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
4Averte oculos tuos a me, quia ipsi me avolare fecerunt. Capilli tui sicut grex caprarum quæ apparuerunt de Galaad.
4¶ Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
5Dentes tui sicut grex ovium quæ ascenderunt de lavacro: omnes gemellis fœtibus, et sterilis non est in eis.
5Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
6Sicut cortex mali punici, sic genæ tuæ, absque occultis tuis.
6Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
7Sexaginta sunt reginæ, et octoginta concubinæ, et adolescentularum non est numerus.
7As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
8Una est columba mea, perfecta mea, una est matris suæ, electa genetrici suæ. Viderunt eam filiæ, et beatissimam prædicaverunt; reginæ et concubinæ, et laudaverunt eam.
8There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
9Quæ est ista quæ progreditur quasi aurora consurgens, pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol, terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata?
9My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea , the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
10Sponsa Descendi in hortum nucum, ut viderem poma convallium, et inspicerem si floruisset vinea, et germinassent mala punica.
10¶ Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
11Nescivi: anima mea conturbavit me, propter quadrigas Aminadab.
11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.
12Chorus Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis ! revertere, revertere ut intueamur te.]
12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
