KJV ¹ How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

VULC ¹ [Quid videbis in Sulamite, nisi choros castrorum ?
Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui in calceamentis, filia principis !
Juncturæ femorum tuorum sicut monilia
quæ fabricata sunt manu artificis.

KJV ² Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

VULC ² Umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis,
numquam indigens poculis.
Venter tuus sicut acervus tritici vallatus liliis.

KJV ³ Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

VULC ³ Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinnuli,
gemelli capreæ.

KJV ⁴ Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

VULC ⁴ Collum tuum sicut turris eburnea ;
oculi tui sicut piscinæ in Hesebon
quæ sunt in porta filiæ multitudinis.
Nasus tuus sicut turris Libani,
quæ respicit contra Damascum.

KJV ⁵ Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

VULC ⁵ Caput tuum ut Carmelus ;
et comæ capitis tui sicut purpura regis
vincta canalibus.

KJV ⁶ How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

VULC ⁶ Quam pulchra es, et quam decora,
carissima, in deliciis !

KJV ⁷ This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

VULC ⁷ Statura tua assimilata est palmæ,
et ubera tua botris.

KJV ⁸ I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;

VULC ⁸ Dixi : Ascendam in palmam,
et apprehendam fructus ejus ;
et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineæ,
et odor oris tui sicut malorum.

KJV ⁹ And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

VULC ⁹ Guttur tuum sicut vinum optimum,
dignum dilecto meo ad potandum,
labiisque et dentibus illius ad ruminandum.

KJV ¹⁰ I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.

VULC ¹⁰ Ego dilecto meo,
et ad me conversio ejus.

KJV ¹¹ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

VULC ¹¹ Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum,
commoremur in villis.

KJV ¹² Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

VULC ¹² Mane surgamus ad vineas :
videamus si floruit vinea,
si flores fructus parturiunt,
si floruerunt mala punica ;
ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.

KJV ¹³ The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

VULC ¹³ Mandragoræ dederunt odorem
in portis nostris omnia poma :
nova et vetera, dilecte mi, servavi tibi.]
