Song of Solomon 7

¹How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. ²Thy navel is likea round goblet, whereinno mingled wine is wanting: thy belly is likean heap of wheat set about with lilies. ³Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe. ⁴Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; thine eyes asthe pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim; thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus. ⁵Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held captive in the tresses thereof. ⁶How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! ⁷This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. ⁸I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples; ⁹And thy mouth like the best wine, that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of those that are asleep. ¹⁰I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me. ¹¹Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. ¹²Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine hath budded, andits blossom be open, andthe pomegranates be in flower: there will I give thee my love. ¹³The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
