Quo declinavit dilectus tuus? et quaeremus eum tecum" = I sought him whom my soul loveth, but I found him not..."I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick with love"..."Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee" (3:22) -- En lectulum Salomonis sexaginta fortes ambiunt...omnes tenentes gladios, et ad bella doctissimi = Behold the bed which is Solomon's, three score valiant men are about it...they all hold swords, being expert in war (1:49) -- Revertere, revertere Sulamitis!
