Latin text
Introduxit me rex in cellam vinariam, ordinavit in me charitatem.
Fulcite me floribus, stipate me malis; quia amore langueo.
English translation
He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.
Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.
Hungarian translation
Bevitt engem a király a boros pinczébe, elrendezte bennem a szeretetet.
Támogassatok engem virágokkal, erősítsetek engem almákkal; mert lankadok a szerelem miatt.
