1How 1beautiful are thy feet with shoes, 2O prince's daughter! 3the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2Thy 1navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not aliquor: 2thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with 3lilies.
3Thy 1two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4Thy 1neck is as a tower of ivory; 2thine eyes like the fishpools in 3Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: 4thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5Thine 1head upon thee is like aCarmel, and 2the hair of thine head like purple; 3the king isbheld in the galleries.
6How 1fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7This 1thy stature is like to a palm tree, and 2thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8I said, 1I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy 2breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the 3smell of thy nose like apples;
9And 1the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth downasweetly, causing the lips bof those that are asleep to speak.
10¶ 1I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
111Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
12Let us 1get up early to the vineyards; let 2us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape aappear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give 3thee my loves.
13The 1mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are2all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
