8Let the king have sixty queens, eighty concubines,

young women without number!

9But I love only one,

and she is as lovely as a dove.

She is her mother’s only daughter,

her mother’s favourite child.

All women look at her and praise her;

queens and concubines sing her praises.

Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
