Quam pulcra es amica mea

Quam pulcra es et quam decora

quam pulcre sunt gene tue

pulcriora vbera tua vino

colum tuum sicut monilia

oculi tui columbarum.

Labia tua gutur tuum manus tue

[venter tuus] eburneus et facies tua

O amica mea aperi michi quia amore langueo.
Behold, thou art fair, my love

How fair and how pleasant art thou

Thy cheeks are comely

Thy love is better than wine

Thy neck [like] chains of gold

Thou hast doves' eyes

[Thy] lips, [thy] mouth, [thy] hands

[Thy] belly as bright ivory, and [thy] countenance

Open to me, my love, for I am sick of love.
