Song of Songs 4:1-7

1BeholdH2005, thou art fairH3303, my love; beholdH2005, thou art fairH3303; thine eyesH5869 are as dovesH3123 behindH1157 thy veilH6777: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that lie along the side of mountH2022 GileadH1568.

2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of ewesH7094 that are newly shornH7094, which are comeH5927 upH5927 from the washingH7367; whereof everyH3605 one hath twinsH8382, and noneH369 is bereaved among them.

3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy mouth is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 behindH1157 thy veilH6777.

4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 builded for an armoury, whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH505 bucklers, allH3605 the shieldsH4043 of the mightyH1368 menH1368.

5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 fawnsH6082 that are twinsH8380 of a roe, which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799.

6UntilH5704 the dayH3117 be coolH6315, and the shadows fleeH5127 awayH5127, I will get meH413 to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH2022 of frankincenseH3828.

7Thou art allH3605 fairH3303, my love; and there is noH369 spotH3971 in thee.
