Song of Solomon 4 |
| 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. |
