How beautiful
are thy feet
with shoes,
O prince's
daughter!
the joints
of thy thighs
are like jewels,
the work
of the hands
of a cunning workman.

Thy navel
is like a round
goblet,
which wanteth
not liquor:
thy belly
is like an heap
of wheat
set about
with lilies.
Thy two
breasts
are like two
young
roes
that are twins.
Thy neck
is as a tower
of ivory;
thine eyes
like the fishpools
in Heshbon,
by the gate
of Bathrabbim:
thy nose
is as the tower
of Lebanon
which looketh
toward
Damascus.

Thine head
upon thee is like Carmel,
and the hair
of thine head
like purple;
the king
is held
in the galleries.
How fair
and how pleasant
art thou, O love,
for delights!
This thy stature
is like
to a palm tree,
and thy breasts
to clusters
of grapes.
I said,
I will go up
to the palm tree,
I will take hold
of the boughs
thereof: now also thy breasts
shall be as clusters
of the vine,
and the smell
of thy nose
like apples;

And the roof of thy mouth
like the best
wine
for my beloved,
that goeth
down sweetly,
causing the lips
of those that are asleep
to speak.
I am my beloved's,
and his desire
is toward me.
Come,
my beloved,
let us go forth
into the field;
let us lodge
in the villages.
Let us get up early
to the vineyards;
let us see
if the vine
flourish,
whether the tender grape
appear,
and the pomegranates
bud forth:
there will I give
thee my loves.

and old,
which I have laid up
for thee, O my beloved.
