Quarum vocabatur inſignis Jemimæa

Prima, quandoquidem nox præteriit ærumnæ, venit aut ẽ em dies;

Poſt illam autem junior erat Caſſia amabilis,

Caſſia, nomen bonum, cujus gratiſſimus odor;

Tertiam verò vocabant bene-comatam Keren-Happuc,

Quippe ei ſtibii cornu pulchrum nomen dedit.

Τάων μέν ῥ' ἐκαλεῖτο περικλυτὶς Ἰεμιμαῖα

Πρώτη, ἐπεὶ νὺξ ᾤχετ' ὀϊζύος, ἤλυθε δ' ἦμαρ·

Τὴν δὲ μέθ' ὁπλοτέρη ἦν Κασίη ἱμερόεσσα,

Κασίη, ὄνομα καλὸν, ὅυ χαριεστάτη ὀδμή·

Τὴν δὲ τρίτην ἐκάλεσσαν ἐυπλόκαμον Κερεναππὼκ,

"Οὕνεκά οἱ στίβεως κέρας ἀγλαὸν ἔνομ' ἔδωκε.

[14] Of these, the one was called by the famous name Jemimah, the First, because the night of misery had passed, and day had come; And after her the younger was Kassia, lovely — Kassia, a beautiful name, whose fragrance was most gracious; And the third they called fair-tressed Keren-Happuch, because he gave her a splendid horn of antimony as a name.
