⥃Admiration by the Bridegroom
[1] How beautiful are thy feet2 with shoes, O prince’s3 daughter! the joints4 of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work5 of the hands of a cunning workman. [2] Thy navel6 [is like] a round goblet, [which] wanteth not liquor7: thy belly8 [is like] an heap of wheat set about with lilies. [3] Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are] twins.9 [4] Thy neck10 [is] as a tower of ivory11; thine eyes12 [like] the fishpools in Heshbon13, by the gate of Bath–rabbim: thy nose14 [is] as the tower15 of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus16. [5] Thine head17 upon thee [is] like Carmel18, and the hair19 of thine head like purple; the king20 [is] held21 in the galleries. [6] How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!22 [7] This thy stature23 is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts24 to clusters [of grapes]. [8] I said, I will go25 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 smell26 of thy nose like apples; [9] And the roof27 of thy mouth like the best28 wine for my beloved, that goeth [down] sweetly29, causing the lips of those that are asleep30 to speak.
⥃The Bride
[10] I [am] my31 beloved’s, and his32 desire [is] toward me. [11] Come, my beloved, let us go33 forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. [12] Let us get34 up early to the vineyards; let us see35 if the vine flourish, [whether] the tender36 grape appear37, [and] the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee38 my loves. [13] The mandrakes39 give a smell, and at our40 gates [are] all manner of pleasant [fruits], new41 and old, [which] I have42 laid up for thee, O my beloved.
