Original text and translations
Ecce tu pulcher es dilecte mi et decorus.
Lectulus noster floridus, tigna domorum nostrarum cedrina, laquearia cupressina.
Ego flos campi et lilium convallium.
(1/16-17; 2/1)
English translation
Behold thou art fair, my beloved, and comely.
Our bed is flourishing. The beams of our houses are of cedar, our rafters of cypress trees.
I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.
