How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. |
|
|
|
2
|
Thy navel a round goblet, wanteth not liquor: thy belly an heap of wheat set about with lilies. |
|
|
|
3
|
Thy two breasts like two young roes twins. |
|
|
|
4
|
Thy neck as a tower of ivory; thine eyes the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. |
|
|
|
5
|
Thine head upon thee like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king held in the galleries. |
|
|
|
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 clusters . |
|
|
|
8
|
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; |
|
|
|
9
|
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. |
|
|
|
10
|
I my beloved's, and his desire 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 if the vine flourish, the tender grape appear, the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. |
|
|
|
13
|
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates all manner of pleasant , new and old, I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. |
