Song of Songs 4:1-7

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.

6Until the dayH3117 breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, I will getH3212 me to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH1389 of frankincenseH3828.2

7Thou art all fairH3303, my loveH7474; there is no spotH3971 in thee.
