1. The song of songs, which is Solomon's. | |
2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. | |
3. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. | |
4. Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. | |
5. I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. | |
6. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. | |
7. Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? | |
8. If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. | |
9. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. | |
10. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. | |
11. We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. | |
12. While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. | |
13. A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. | |
14. My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. | |
15. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. | |
16. Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. | |
17. The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. |
