Liber II CLOSEOUT — toward Liber III
End of the Second Book. The Third Book follows, where we shall pursue further the Bridegroom’s beauty and the couch and the flowers of the field. Thus far, from I am black through Our couch is shaded, with the Lord’s help, we have set things in order. Amen.
Latin
Finis Libri Secundi. Sequitur Liber Tertius, ubi amplius de pulchritudine sponsi et de cubili atque de floribus campi prosequemur. Hactenus a Nigra sum usque ad Cubile nostrum umbrosum, Domino adiuvante, digessimus. Amen.
