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.

ClVg Dixi: Ascendam in palmam, et apprehendam fructus ejus; et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineæ, et odor oris tui sicut malorum.[fn]

7.8 Dixi: Ascendam. Quasi diceret: Et quod tales habet doctores, tam discrete prædicantes, non est tui meriti, sed donum meum, quia ascendi in palmam, id est, dedi Ecclesiæ augmentum virtutum, donec ad perfectum veniat, et apprehendam fructus ejus; id est, ita confortabo et multiplicabo virtutes in eis, ut nullo modo possint decidere, donec ad maturitatem perveniant, et per hoc ubera tua erunt sicut botrus cypri, quia illi, qui parva norunt, si benivole nuntiant interdum potiore sapientia debriabuntur. Dixi. Quasi, insistendum est ad conversionem Judæorum, quia tam pulchra conjunctio est secutura, et quia pro eis maxime passus sum, quia eos salvandos provideram. Fructus ejus. Fructus Crucis, potest dici resurrectio, et ascensio, adventus Spiritus sancti, et salus mundi: et per hæc doctores sunt debriati et confortati. Et odor oris. Odor malis, guttur vino comparatur: quia mala, ex novitate, vinum ex vetustate laudem consequitur. Sicut vinum malo præstat, ita præstat præsens allocutio Ecclesiæ ipsi famæ quam de illa potest audientium sermo disseminare. Odor in gutture, vox præsentis doctrinæ. In odore fama absentis designatur: et ideo vino illa propter fragantiam virtutum, hæc malis ob suavitatem absentis famæ comparatur.

7.8 Dixi: Ascendam. Quasi diceret: And that tales habet doctores, tam discrete prædicantes, not/no it_is yours meriti, but donum mine, because ascendi in palmam, id it_is, dedi Ecclesiæ augmentum virtutum, until to perfectum veniat, and apprehendam fructus his; id it_is, ita confortabo and multiplicabo virtutes in eis, as nullo modo possint decidere, until to maturitatem perveniant, and through this ubera tua erunt sicut botrus cypri, because illi, who parva norunt, when/but_if benivole nuntiant interdum potiore sapientia debriabuntur. Dixi. Quasi, insistendum it_is to conversionem Yudæorum, because tam pulchra conyunctio it_is secutura, and because for to_them maxime passus I_am, because them salvandos provideram. Fructus his. Fructus Crucis, potest dici resurrectio, and ascensio, adventus Spiritus sancti, and salus mundi: and through these_things doctores are debriati and confortati. And odor oris. Odor malis, guttur vino comparatur: because mala, from novitate, vinum from vetustate laudem consequitur. Sicut vinum malo præstat, ita præstat præsens allocutio Ecclesiæ ipsi famæ how about that potest audientium sermo disseminare. Odor in gutture, voice præsentis doctrinæ. In odore fama absentis designatur: and ideo vino that propter fragantiam virtutum, these_things malis ob suavitatem absentis famæ comparatur.
