WMBB (Same as above)

MSG ^(1-12)Shapely and graceful your sandaled feet,
  and queenly your movement—
Your limbs are lithe and elegant,
  the work of a master artist.
Your body is a chalice,
  wine-filled.
Your skin is silken and tawny
  like a field of wheat touched by the breeze.
Your breasts are like fawns,
  twins of a gazelle.
Your neck is carved ivory, curved and slender.
  Your eyes are wells of light, deep with mystery.
  Quintessentially feminine!
Your profile turns all heads,
  commanding attention.
The feelings I get when I see the high mountain ranges
  —stirrings of desire, longings for the heights—
Remind me of you,
  and I’m spoiled for anyone else!
Your beauty, within and without, is absolute,
  dear lover, close companion.
You are tall and supple, like the palm tree,
  and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates.
I say, “I’m going to climb that palm tree!
  I’m going to caress its fruit!”
Oh yes! Your breasts
  will be clusters of sweet fruit to me,
Your breath clean and cool like fresh mint,
  your tongue and lips like the best wine.
The Woman

7.1 Quid videbis in Sulamite. Dum Ecclesia monet Synagogam, ipse Redemptor annuens hortamentis illius, se effectum daturum promittit. Elias enim et Enoch in illis convertendis non laborarent, nisi divinis Scripturis et apostolicis testimoniis certitudinem conversionis eorum haberent. Quid videbis. Quasi diceret: Doles de incredulitate Synagogæ; sed scias in proximo convertendam, ut in ea jam non appareat infidelitas, sed opera spiritualium agonum, et virtutum. Quam pulchri sunt gressus. In præmissis descriptionibus est descensus a superioribus ad inferiora, et superiorum tantum fit commendatio membrorum. In hac commendantur etiam inferiora, et ab inferioribus ascenditur ad superiora; ut ostendatur, quod illa Ecclesia in novissimo, ex illis ante reprobis convocata, habebit tamen membra superioribus non imparia; in qua fit mentio gressuum, quia non in otio futura, sed ad certamen processura, primam pulchritudinem ex certamine ostenditur habitura. Quam pulchri sunt. Primo operum constantiam et mortificationem voluptatum in ea laudat: Quam pulchri sunt. Hæc dicens ad laudem ipsius Ecclesiæ conjunctæ ex dulcedine se convertit, ut Judæi facilius convertantur, et Ecclesia de illis convertendis plus laboret. Juncturæ femorum. Recte post gressus calceatos, junctura femorum laudatur: quia per ministerium prædicantium perficit unanimis conjunctio credentium populorum. Monilia. Mundissima, cum jam non dissentiant hi ab illis, sed in omnibus conveniant: et operum attestatione clarescant. Quæ fabricata sunt. Quæ conjunctio, arte inscrutabilis consilii ordinata est: quis enim novit quare Deus usque ad illud tempus Judæos excæcaverit. Quæ fabricata sunt manu. Id est, ineffabili largitate firmata conditoris. Umbilicus tuus. Illi etiam inter molles, qui gignunt, etsi mundo licite hærent, tamen bene annuntiant.

7.1 Quid videbis in Sulamite. Dum Ecclesia monet Synagogam, exactly_that/himself Redemptor annuens hortamentis illius, se effectum daturum promittit. Elias because and Enoch in illis convertendis not/no laborarent, nisi divinis Scripturis and apostolicis testimoniis certitudinem conversionis their haberent. Quid videbis.

In præmissis descriptionibus it_is descensus from superioribus to inferiora, and superiorum only fit commendatio membrorum. In hac commendantur also inferiora, and away inferioribus went_upur to superiora; as ostendatur, that that Ecclesia in novissimo, from illis before reprobis convocata, habebit tamen members superioribus not/no imparia; in which fit mentio gressuum, because not/no in otio futura, but to certamen processura, primam pulchritudinem from certamine ostenditur habitura. Quam pulchri are. Primo operum constantiam and mortificationem voluptatum in ea laudat: Quam pulchri are. This saying to laudem ipsius Ecclesiæ conyunctæ from dulcedine se convertit, as Yudæi facilius convertantur, and Ecclesia about illis convertendis plus laboret. Yuncturæ femorum. Recte after gressus calceatos, yunctura femorum laudatur: because through ministerium prædicantium perficit unanimis conyunctio credentium to_the_peoplerum. Monilia. Mundissima, when/with yam not/no dissentiant hi away to_them, but in to_all conveniant: and operum attestatione clarescant. Quæ fabricata are. Quæ conyunctio, arte inscrutabilis consilii ordinata it_is: who/any because novit quare God until to illud tempus Yudæos excæcaverit. Quæ fabricata are manu. That it_is, ineffabili largitate firmata conditoris. Umbilicus tuus. Illi also between molles, who gignunt, etsi mundo licite hærent, tamen bene annuntiant.
