Song of Solomon 4:1–5:1

^aBehold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;

Thou hast doves’ eyes ^bwithin thy ^bclocks:

^dThy hair is as a flock of ^egoats, ^dthat appear from mount ^fGilead.

^2gThy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing;

^gWhereof every one beareth twins, and none is barren among them.

³Thy lips are like a ^hthread of scarlet, and thy speech is ⁱcomely:

^kThy temples are like a piece of a ^klpomegranate ^bwithin thy ^clocks.

^4mThy neck is like the tower of David

Builded for an ⁿarmoury,

Whereon there ^ohang a thousand bucklers, all ^pshields of mighty men.

^5qThy two breasts are like two ^ryoung ^qroes that are twins,

Which ^sfeed among the lilies.

^6tUntil the day break, and ^uthe shadows flee away,

I will get me to the mountain of ^wmyrrh, and to the hill of ^wfrankincense.

^7aThou art all fair, my love; there is ^xno spot in thee.

⁸Come with me from ^yLebanon, my ^zspouse, with me from Lebanon:

Look from the top of ^aAmana, from the top of ^bShenir and ^bHermon,

From the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the ^cleopards.

⁹Thou hast ravished my heart, ^dmy sister, my spouse;

Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes,

With ^eone chain of thy neck.

¹⁰How fair is thy love, ^dmy sister, my spouse!

How much ^fbetter is thy love than wine!

And ^gthe smell of thine ointments than all spices!

^11hThy lips, O my spouse, drop as the ⁱhoneycomb:

^hHoney and milk are under thy tongue;

And the smell of thy garments is ^jlike the smell of Lebanon.

¹²A garden inclosed is ^dmy sister, my spouse;

A spring shut up, ^ka fountain ^lsealed.

¹³Thy plants are an ^morchard of ⁿpomegranates, with ^opleasant fruits;

Camphire, with ^pspikenard,

^14pSpikenard and saffron;

^qCalamus and ^qcinnamon, with all trees of ^rfrankincense;

^qrsMyrrh and ^saloes, with all the ^qtchief spices:

¹⁵A fountain of gardens, a well of ^uliving waters,

And streams from Lebanon.

¹⁶Awake, O north wind; and come thou south;

^xBlow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out.

^yLet my beloved come into his garden,

And ^zeat his ^opleasant fruits.

V.^aI am come into my garden, ^bmy sister, my spouse:

I have ^cgathered my ^dmyrrh with my spice;

^eI have eaten my ^fhoneycomb with my honey;

^gI have drunk my wine with my milk:

Eat, O ^hfriends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
