¹ How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded limbs are like jeweled chains, the work of a master hand. ² Your body is like a round goblet in which no mixed wine is wanting. Your abdomen is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies. ³ Your two breasts are like two fawns, the twins of a gazelle. ⁴ Your neck is like a tower of ivory, your eyes like the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus. ⁵ Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, and the hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive by its tresses. ⁶ How fair and how pleasant you are, O love, with your delights! ⁷ Your stature is like that of a palm tree, and your bosom like its clusters . ⁸ I resolve that I will climb the palm tree; I will grasp its branches. Let your breasts be like clusters of the grapevine, and the scent of your breath like apples, ⁹ And your kisses like the best wine-- that goes down smoothly and sweetly for my beloved gliding over his lips while he sleeps! 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 go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened, and whether the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. ¹³ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all manner of choice fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved!
