Song of Songs 1:2-3
RSV NAB KJV DR LV BNV
1:2 O that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth! For your love is better than wine, 1:2 B 2 Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth!
More delightful is your love than wine!
1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. 1:2 Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as oil poured out: therefore young maidens have loved thee. 1:2 fraglantia unguentis optimis oleum effusum nomen tuum ideo adulescentulae dilexerunt te 1:2 Osculetur me osculo oris sui!
Nam meliores sunt amores tui vino:
1:3 your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil poured out; therefore the maidens love you. 1:3 Your name spoken is a spreading perfume-
that is why the maidens love you.
1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. 1:3 1Draw me: we will run after thee to the odour of thy ointments. The king hath brought me into his storerooms: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, remembering thy breasts more than wine: the righteous love thee. 1:3 trahe me post te curremus introduxit me rex in cellaria sua exultabimus et laetabimur in te memores uberum tuorum super vinum recti diligunt te 1:3 in fragrantiam unguentorum tuorum optimorum.
Oleum effusum nomen tuum;
ideo adulescentulae dilexerunt te.

These tools are brought to you free of charge by The Cross Reference, a Catholic blog run by Jeff Pinyan, covering a wide array of topics (from liturgy to apologetics, from study of Holy Scripture to current events). None of the content from these tools is property of The Cross Reference, and all of it is found elsewhere on the Internet already. These tools exist simply to make it easier to search the various sources represented here, as well as to further the glorification of God and the sanctification of His Church. If they contribute to any of these goals, I am pleased (and I hope He is too).

I am aware of certain gaps (lacunas) in the Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate, and New Vulgate texts; if you find one, feel free to email me about it so I can take care of it. I will also get around to loading the footnotes for the Douay-Rheims text.

If you found these tools useful, please let your friends, family, and local church know about them (and let me know you let them know!). If you encountered problems, have suggestions for improvements, or have questions, comments, or compliments, feel free to email the author of these tools at his gmail.com account, TheCrossReference.
