Liber III historical recapitulation
Historical recapitulation of Book III: from the shaded couch and dove-eyes through cedar beams and the flower of the field, the apple among the trees, the wine cellar, left hand and right, the leaping voice, winter past, the fig and the hollow of the rock, as far as the showing of the face and the catching of the foxes.
Latin
Recapitulatio Libri III historica: a cubili umbroso et oculis columbae per tigna cedrina et florem campi, malum inter ligna, cellam vinariam, sinistram et dexteram, vocem salientem, hiemem transitam, ficum et foramen petrae, usque ad ostensionem faciei et captionem vulpium.
