5Thine head upon thee is like ||oCarmel,

And pthe hair of thine head like purple;

qThe king is †held in the rgalleries.

Your neck is like an ivory tower.

Your eyes are pools in Heshbon,

by the gate of Bath-rabbim.

which looks toward Damascus.

Your head crowns you like Carmel,

and your flowing locks are like purple;

a king is held captive in the tresses.

a king is held captive in the tresses!
