The Lover to His Beloved: O my beloved, you are like a mare among Pharaoh's stallions.

The Lover to His Beloved: Like a lily among the thorns, so is my darling among the maidens.

The Beloved about Her Lover: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

The Beloved about Her Lover: My lover is mine and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.

Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of the gazelle grazing among the lilies.

The Maidens to the Beloved: Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned? Tell us, that we may seek him with you.

The Beloved about Her Lover: I am my lover's and my lover is mine; he grazes among the lilies.
