    ℟. Vidi speciósam sicut colúmbam, ascendéntem désuper rivos aquárum, cujus inæstimábilis odor erat nimis in vestiméntis ejus; * Et sicut dies verni circúmdabant eam flores rosárum et lília convállium. ℣. Quæ est ista quæ ascéndit per desértum sicut vírgula fumi ex aromátibus myrrhæ et thuris? ℟. Et sicut dies verni circúmdabant eam flores rosárum et lília convállium.

    ℟. I saw her, when, fair like a dove, she winged her flight above the rivers of waters. The priceless savour of her perfumes hung heavy in her garments. * And about her it was as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, and lilies of the valleys. ℣. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like a pillar of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense? ℟. And about her it was as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, and lilies of the valleys.
