How
beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's
daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like
jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning
workman.
02 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which
wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of
wheat set about with lilies.
03 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that
are twins.
04 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 looketh toward Damascus.
05 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the
hair of thine head like purple; the king is held
in the galleries.
06 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love,
for delights!
07 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and
thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

08 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;
09 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine
for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing
the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
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 if the vine flourish, whether the tender
grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth:
there will I give thee my loves.
13 The mandrakes give 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.
