¹ THE song of songs, which is Shalomah's.

² Let him touch me with the kisses of his mouth: for your affections are better than wine.

³ Because of the savor of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the damsels love you.

⁴ Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we shall commemorate your affections more than wine: the yashariym love you.

⁵ I am black, and comely, O ye daughters of Yerushalayim, as the tents of Qedar, as the shoots of Shalomah.

⁶ It must not be you staring at me because I am black, because I am tanned from the sun: my mother's sons were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; vineyards which were not my own.

⁷ Tell you, O soul of mine whom she loves, where you feed, where are you reclining at noon? why should I become as one being muffled by the droves of your partners?

⁸ If you know not, the lovely one among women, go your way by the footsteps of the flock, and graze your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

⁹ I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses for Phar'oh's chariots.

¹⁰ Your cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains threaded gems.

¹¹ We will make you bead rows of gold with specks of silver.

¹² Still the king's divan sends forth the scent of him from the spikenard he gave me.

¹³ A pouch of myrrh is my darling to me; he is lodging between my breasts.

¹⁴ My darling is to me as a cluster of the henna blossom in the vineyards of Eyn Gediy.

¹⁵ Behold you, lovely shepherdess; behold you, you have the lovely eyes of doves.

¹⁶ Behold you, my darling, you are pleasant indeed: also our couch is flourishing.

¹⁷ The beams of our court are cedar, and our rafters and panels are of fir.
