8“You are the most beautiful woman of all.
Don’t you know where to find the king?
Follow the tracks the sheep make.
Take care of your young goats
near the tents of the shepherds.”
King Solomon says to the Shulammite woman,
9“You are my love.
You are like a mare that pulls one of Pharaoh’s chariots.
