“1 Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou
[hast] doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats,
that appear from mount Gilead. 2 Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep
that are even] shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one
bear twins, and none [is] barren among them. 3 Thy lips [are] like a
thread of scarlet, and thy speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a
piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. 4 Thy neck [is] like the tower
of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers,
all shields of mighty men. 5 Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes
that are twins, which feed among the lilies. 6 Until the day break, and
the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to
the hill of frankincense. 7 Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no
spot in thee.”
“8 Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from Lebanon: look
from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the
lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards. 9 Thou hast ravished my
heart, my sister, [my] spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of
thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. 10 How fair is thy love, my
sister, [my] spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the
smell of thine ointments than all spices! 11 Thy lips, O [my] spouse,
drop [as] the honeycomb: honey and milk [are] under thy tongue; and the
smell of thy garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon. 12 A garden
inclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain
sealed. 13 Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant
fruits; camphire, with spikenard, 14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and
cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the
chief spices:”
“15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from
Lebanon. 16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my
garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into
his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.” (Song of Solomon 4:1-16 AV)
