Per collum namque cibos trajicimus in corpus reficiendum, et verba proferimus, quibus secreta cordis proximis declaramus, id est, doctores qui et verbis instruunt, et cibum salutis in commissa sibi membra transfundunt. Qui monilibus comparantur, qui pulchri sunt moribus, et pectora virginum verbis et exemplis claudunt, ne adulter inserat manum.

1.9 Pulchræ. Quoniam ostensum it_is how Master Ecclesiam between adversa protegat, restat ostendi quantum amorem ipsius Master between adversa servet Ecclesia. Unde follows, Pulchræ are genæ. Tanta you(sg) verecundiæ salutaris virtute decoravi, as castitatem promissæ to_me of_faith nulla pravorum doctorum doctrina or suggestione corrumpas, from to_whom timebas in errorem deduci. Pulchritudo mulieris in genis it_is_said esse quamplurima.Allegorice.. In genis notatur signum pudoris, like in prælet_him_sayoribus mos recte vivendi. Ecclesia, etsi sponsi sui morte viduata, tanta tamen his memoria holdsur, as nullatenus externorum possit recipere consortium: and for to_his_own and aliorum sins gemit. In collo, doctores, in monilibus opera illorum: because ea which verbo docent, operantur. Quæ let_it_be huyus sobrietatis custodiendæ gratia subdendo, demonstrat. Collum your like monilia. Per collum namque cibos trayicimus in body reficiendum, and words proferimus, to_whom secreta cordis proximis declaramus, id it_is, doctores who and verbis instruunt, and cibum salutis in commissa sibi members transfundunt. Who monilibus comparantur, who pulchri are moribus, and pectora virginum verbis and exemplis claudunt, not adulter inserat manum.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

לְ⁠סֻסָתִ⁠י֙ בְּ⁠רִכְבֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה דִּמִּיתִ֖י⁠ךְ רַעְיָתִֽ⁠י

to,mare,my in/on/at/with,chariots Farˊoh compare,you darling,my

If it would be more natural in your language, you could begin this verse with the phrase my darling. Alternate translation: “My darling, I liken you to a mare among the chariots of Pharaoh”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

לְ⁠סֻסָתִ⁠י֙ בְּ⁠רִכְבֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה דִּמִּיתִ֖י⁠ךְ

to,mare,my in/on/at/with,chariots Farˊoh compare,you

The comparison To a mare among the chariots of Pharaoh I liken you could be: (1) the man saying that the excitement caused by a mare (a female horse) among Pharaoh’s male chariot horses is like the excitement that the woman caused him to feel. (2) the man saying that the beauty of the woman is like the beauty of one of Pharaoh's mares. The horses of the king of Egypt, the Pharaoh, were known to be the best in the world and very beautiful. This is the second option because, normally, only stallions, not mares, pulled the chariots. Alternate translation: “Your beauty is like the beauty of Pharaoh’s chariot horses” or “I compare your beauty to the beauty of Pharaoh’s chariot horses”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠רִכְבֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה

in/on/at/with,chariots Farˊoh

Here, the chariots represents “the horses that pull the chariots.” Chariots were normally drawn by pairs of male horses (stallions). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “among the stallions that pull Pharaoh’s chariots” or “among the stallions that pull the chariots of Pharaoh”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

פַרְעֹ֔ה

Farˊoh

The word Pharaoh is a title and represents kings of Egypt in general, not one particular king of Egypt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “the king of Egypt”
