1
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince'sdaughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.2
Thy navel is like a roundgoblet, which wanteth not liquor:a thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.3
Thy twobreasts are like twoyoungroes that are twins.4
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which lookethtowardDamascus.5
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel,b and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is 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 of grapes.
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 bestwine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly,c causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak .
10
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
11Come , 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 vineflourish , whether the tender grapeappear ,d and the pomegranates bud forth : there will I give thee my loves.13
The mandrakesgive a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
