There will I tarry for thee, my love, with mine host and with my chariots, which shall be no fewer than Pharaoh's.

Me think I hear the voice of my beloved: lo, there cometh he hopping upon the mountains, and leaping over the little hills.

Behold, about Solomon's bedstead there stand sixty valiant men of the most mighty in Israel.

Thy neck is like the tower of David builded with bulwarks, whereupon there hang a thousand shields; yea, all the weapons of the giants.

Thou art all fair, O my love, and no spot is there in thee.

There are threescore Queens, and fourscore concubines, and young women without number.

There will I turn me unto my love, and he shall turn him unto me.

In the morning will we rise betimes, and go see the vineyard: if it be sprung forth, if the grapes be grown, and if the pomegranates be shot out. There will I give thee my breasts;

there shall the mandragoras give their smell beside our doors; there, O my love, have I kept unto thee all manner of fruits, both new and old.
