Latin text
- Caput eius aurum optimum,
- comae eius sicut elatae palmarum,
- nigrae quasi corvus.
- Oculi eius sicut columbae super rivulos aquarum
- quae lacte sunt lotae
- et resident iuxta fluenta plenissima.
English translation
- His head is as the finest gold:
- his locks as branches of palm trees,
- black as a raven.
- His eyes as doves upon brooks of waters,
- which are washed with milk,
- and sit beside the plentiful streams.
