If you do not know, O fairest among women, follow {the tracks} of the flock, and pasture your little lambs beside the tents of the shepherds.

To a mare among the chariots of Pharaoh, I compare you, my beloved.

Like a lily among the thorns, so [is] my love among the maidens.

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so [is] my beloved among the young men. In his shade {I sat down with delight}, and his fruit [was] sweet to my palate.

{My beloved belongs to me and I belong to him}; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

Your teeth [are] like a flock of shorn ewes that came up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none bereaved among them.

Your two breasts [are] like two fawns, twins of a gazelle that feed among the lilies.

{How is your beloved better than another lover}, O most beautiful among women? {How is your beloved better than another lover}, that you adjure us thus?

My beloved [is] radiant and {ruddy}, distinguished {among} ten thousand.

Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned that we may seek him with you?

{I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me}; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

Your teeth [are] like a flock of the ewes that have come up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none bereaved among them.
