Chapter 6Chapter 8

1'How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves of your hips are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist.

2'Your navel is [like] a round goblet Which never lacks mixed wine; Your belly is like a heap of wheat Fenced about with lilies.

3'Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle.

4'Your neck is like a tower of ivory, Your eyes [like] the pools in Heshbon By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, Which faces toward Damascus.

5'Your head crowns you like Carmel, And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads; [The] king is captivated by [your] tresses.

6'How beautiful and how delightful you are, [My] love, with [all] your charms!

7'Your stature is like a palm tree, And your breasts are [like its] clusters.

8'I said, 'I will climb the palm tree, I will take hold of its fruit stalks.' Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of your breath like apples,

9And your mouth like the best wine!' 'It goes [down] smoothly for my beloved, Flowing gently [through] the lips of those who fall asleep.

10'I am my beloved's, And his desire is for me.

11'Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country, Let us spend the night in the villages.

12'Let us rise early [and go] to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded [And its] blossoms have opened, [And whether] the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.

13'The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice [fruits], Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
