| Chapter 7 |
1 |
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 skillful workman.
|
2 |
Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.
|
3 |
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
|
4 |
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thy eyes like the fish-pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh towards Damascus.
|
5 |
Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
|
6 |
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
|
7 |
This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
|
8 |
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its boughs: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
|
9 |
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.
|
10 |
I am my beloved's, and his desire is towards me.
|
11 |
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
|
12 |
Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourisheth, whether the tender grape appeareth, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
|
13 |
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
