1. How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.

2. Thy navel a round goblet, wanteth not liquor: thy belly an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

3. Thy two breasts like two young roes twins.

4. Thy neck as a tower of ivory; thine eyes the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

5. Thine head upon thee like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king held in the galleries.

6. How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

7. This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters.

8. 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;

9. And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

10. I my beloved's, and his desire 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, the tender grape appear, the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

13. The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates all manner of pleasant, new and old, I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
