Chapter 7

1

 

 How beautiful are thy footsteps in sandals, O prince's daughter! The roundings of thy thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist. 

 


2

 

 Thy navel is a round goblet, [which] wanteth not mixed wine; Thy belly a heap of wheat, set about with lilies; 

 


3

 

 Thy two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle; 

 


4

 

 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; Thine eyes, [like] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose like the tower of Lebanon, Which looketh toward Damascus; 

 


5

 

 Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the locks of thy head like purple; The king is fettered by [thy] ringlets! 

 


6

 

 How fair and how pleasant art thou, [my] love, in delights! 

 


7

 

 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to grape clusters. 

 


8

 

 I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof; And thy breasts shall indeed be like clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy nose like apples, 

 


9

 

 And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine, ... That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, And stealeth over the lips of them that are asleep. 

 


10

 

 I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me. 

 


11

 

 -- Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; Let us lodge in the villages. 

 


12

 

 We will go up early to the vineyards, We will see if the vine hath budded, [If] the blossom is opening, And the pomegranates are in bloom: There will I give thee my loves. 

 


13

 

 The mandrakes yield fragrance; And at our gates are all choice fruits, new and old: I have laid them up for thee, my beloved.
