Pessulum ostii mei aperui dilecto meo, at ille declinaverat, atque transierat. Anima mea liquefacta est, ut locutus est; quæsivi, et non inveni illum; vocavi, et non respondit mihi.
I opened the bolt of my door to my beloved: but he had turned aside, and was gone. My soul melted when he spoke: I sought him, and found him not: I called, and he did not answer me.
Pessulo de ostio meo aperi dilige meo, sed illo declina, et transi. Anima meo liquefacie es, ut locuto es; quaere, et non inveni illo; voca, et non responde ad me.
