Song of Songs 4:1-5

1Behold, thou art fairH3303, my loveH7474; behold, thou art fairH3303; thou hast doves’H3123 eyesH5869 withinH1157 thy locksH6777: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that appearH1570 from mountH2022 GileadH1568.1

2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of sheep that are even shornH7094, which came upH5927 from the washingH7367; whereof every one bear twinsH8382, and none is barrenH7909 among them.

3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy speechH4057 is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 withinH1157 thy locksH6777.

4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 buildedH1129 for an armouryH8530, whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH505 bucklersH4043, all shieldsH7982 of mighty menH1368.

5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 youngH6082 roesH6646 that are twinsH8380, which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799.
