Thy cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], thy neck with strings of jewels.

Behold, thou are fair, my love, behold thou are fair. Thine eyes are doves.

Behold, thou are fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant. Also our couch is green.

The beams of our house are cedars, our rafters are firs.

The fig tree ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom. They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

O my dove, who are in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the steep place, let me see thy countenance; let me hear thy voice. For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards. For our vineyards are in blossom.

Behold, it is the litter of Solomon. Sixty mighty men are around it, of the mighty men of Israel.

They all handle the sword, [and] are expert in war. Every man has his sword upon his thigh, because of fear in the night.

Thou are fair, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, sublime as an army with banners.

Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins, and none is bereaved among them.

Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil.

There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilful workman.

Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe.

How fair and how pleasant thou are, O love, for delights!

Let us get up early to the vineyards. Let us see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give thee my love.

The mandrakes give forth fragrance. And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

Set me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thine arm. For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as Sheol. The flashes of it are flashes of fire, a most vehement flame.
