Solomon's Canticle of Canticles
chapter 1
1
Let
him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine,
2 Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as
oil poured out: therefore young maidens have loved thee.
3 Draw me: we will run after thee to the odour of thy
ointments. The king hath brought me into his storerooms: we will be glad and
rejoice in thee, remembering thy breasts more than wine: the righteous love
thee.
4 I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of
Jerusalem, as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
5 Do not consider me that I am brown, because the sun
hath altered my colour: the sons of my mother have fought against me, they have
made me the keeper in the vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept.
6 Shew me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou
feedest, where thou liest in the midday, lest I begin to wander after the
flocks of thy companions.
7 If thou know not thyself, O fairest among women, go
forth, and follow after the steps of the flocks, and feed thy kids beside the
tents of the shepherds.
8 To my company of horsemen, in Pharao's chariots, have
I likened thee, O my love.
9 Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove's, thy
neck as jewels.
10 We will make thee chains of gold, inlaid with
silver.
11 While the king was at his repose, my spikenard sent
forth the odour thereof.
12 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall
abide between my breasts.
13 A cluster of cypress my love is to me, in the
vineyards of Engaddi.
14 Behold thou art fair, O my love, behold thou art
fair, thy eyes are as those of doves.
15 Behold thou art fair, my beloved, and comely. Our
bed is flourishing.
16 The beams of our houses are of cedar, our rafters of
cypress trees.
