Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

1. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
2. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

1. I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

1. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
2. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
