Thou art are my beloved
Literally, "My delights are you, my girl," hence the plural verb, "sunt" -- "mea" should probably read "meae" to agree with "deliciae" [T. Maccius Plautus, Poenulus (ed. F. Leo), 1.2.366]

Actually, it\'s \"mea delicia [es]\" in Plautus (singular), though Perseus also gives the plural form in the singular sense [\"tu meae deliciae sunt\" (plural)].
