Original text and translations

Fasciculus myrrhae dilectus meus mihi, inter ubera mea commorabitur.
Botrus cypri dilectus meus mihi, in vineis Engaddi.
Ecce tu pulchra es, amica mea, ecce tu pulchra es, oculi tui columbarum.
1/13-15

English translation A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall abide between my breasts.
A cluster of cypress my love is to me, in the vineyards of Engaddi.
Behold thou are fair, O my love, behold thou are fair, thy eyes are as those of doves.
