Original text and translations

Song of Solomon 3:2

Latin text Surgam et circuibo civitatem per vicos et plateas, quaeram quem diligit anima mea, quaesivi illum et non inveni.

English translation I will rise and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but found him not.

Dutch translation Ik zal opstaan en in de stad ronddwalen door de wijken en over de straten, om hem te zoeken, van wie ik zielsveel houd. Ik heb hem gezocht en niet gevonden. Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge & Hanneke Pot
