1 How beautiful are your feet in their shoes, O king's daughter! The curves of your legs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a good workman:2 Your stomach is a store of grain with lilies round it, and in the middle a round cup full of wine.3 Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth.4 Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your eyes like the waters in Heshbon, by the doorway of Bath-rabbim; your nose is as the tower on Lebanon looking over Damascus:5 Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple, in whose net the king is prisoner.6 How beautiful and how sweet you are, O love, for delight.7 You are tall like a palm-tree, and your breasts are like the fruit of the vine.8 I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;9 And the roof of your mouth like good wine flowing down smoothly for my loved one, moving gently over my lips and my teeth.10 I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.11 Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.12 Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.13 The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.

1 [ Sponsa Quid videbis in Sulamite, nisi choros castrorum ?Chorus Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui in calceamentis, filia principis !Junctur femorum tuorum sicut moniliaqu fabricata sunt manu artificis.2 Umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis,numquam indigens poculis.Venter tuus sicut acervus tritici vallatus liliis.3 Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinnuli,gemelli capre.4 Collum tuum sicut turris eburnea ;oculi tui sicut piscin in Hesebonqu sunt in porta fili multitudinis.Nasus tuus sicut turris Libani,qu respicit contra Damascum.5 Caput tuum ut Carmelus ;et com capitis tui sicut purpura regisvincta canalibus.6 Sponsus Quam pulchra es, et quam decora,carissima, in deliciis !7 Statura tua assimilata est palm,et ubera tua botris.8 Dixi : Ascendam in palmam,et apprehendam fructus ejus ;et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vine,et odor oris tui sicut malorum.9 Guttur tuum sicut vinum optimum,dignum dilecto meo ad potandum,labiisque et dentibus illius ad ruminandum.10 Sponsa Ego dilecto meo,et ad me conversio ejus.11 Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum,commoremur in villis.12 Mane surgamus ad vineas :videamus si floruit vinea,si flores fructus parturiunt,si floruerunt mala punica ;ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.13 Mandragor dederunt odoremin portis nostris omnia poma :nova et vetera, dilecte mi, servavi tibi.]
