1

Behold, thou [art] fair, my love behold, thou [art] fair thou [hast] doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

2

Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing whereof every one bear twins, and none [is] barren among them.

3

Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

4

Thy neck [is] like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

5

Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

6

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

7

Thou [art] all fair, my love [there is] no spot in thee.

8

Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

9

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

10

How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

11

Thy lips, O [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk [are] under thy tongue and the smell of thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.

12

A garden inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

13

Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits camphire, with spikenard,

14

Spikenard and saffron calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

15

A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

16

Awake, O north wind and come, thou south blow upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
