Song of Solomon 4:16

Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

KJV

Surge, aquilo, et veni, auster : perfla hortum meum, et fluant aromata illius.

Vulgate

Ἐξεγέρθητι, βορρᾶ· καὶ ἔρχου, νότε, καὶ διάπνευσον κῆπόν μου, καὶ ῥευσάτωσαν ἀρώματά μου.
