If thou shalt not know for thyself, O fair one among women, come forth for thyself at the heels of the flock, and feed thy kids by the shepherds' tents.

As the apple among the trees of the forest, so my beloved between the sons. In his shadow I delighted, and I sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

My beloved to me, and I to him: he feeding among the lilies.

Thy teeth as a herd of the shorn which came up from the washing; all of them bearing twins, and none barren among them.

Thy two breasts as two fawns, twins of the roe deer feeding among the lilies.

What is thy beloved above the beloved, O beautiful one among women? What thy beloved above the beloved, that thou didst thus adjure us?

Where went thy beloved, O beautiful one among women? where turned away thy beloved, and we will seek him with thee.

I to my beloved, and my beloved to me: he feeding among the lilies.

Thy teeth as a herd of sheep which went up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and none barren among them.
