1 How
beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter!
Thy rounded thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a skilful workman.
2
Thy body is [like] a round
goblet,
[Wherein] no mingled wine is wanting:
Thy waist is [like] a heap of wheat
Set about with lilies.
3
Thy two breasts are like two
fawns
That are twins of a roe.
4
Thy neck is like the tower of
ivory;
Thine eyes [as] the pools in Heshbon,
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon
Which looketh toward Damascus.
5
Thy head upon thee is like
Carmel,
And the hair of thy head like purple;
The king is held captive in the tresses [thereof].
6
How fair and how pleasant art
thou,
O love, for delights!
7
This thy stature is like to a
palm-tree,
And thy breasts to its clusters.
8
I said, I will climb up into
the palm-tree,
I will take hold of the branches thereof:
Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy breath like apples,
9
And thy mouth like the best
wine,
That goeth down smoothly for my beloved,
Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
10
I am my beloved's;
And his desire is toward me.
11
Come, my beloved, let us go
forth into the field;
Let us lodge in the villages.
12
Let us get up early to the
vineyards;
Let us see whether the vine hath budded,
[And] its blossom is open,
[And] the pomegranates are in flower:
There will I give thee my love.
13
The mandrakes give forth
fragrance;
And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old,
Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
