Song of Solomon

The Bridegroom

Admiration by the Bridegroom

1How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman.+ 2Thy body is [like] a round goblet, [Wherein] no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is [like] a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.+ 3Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.+ 4Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes [as] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.+ 5Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses [thereof].+ 6How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!+ 7This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to its clusters.+ 8I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy breath like apples,+ 9And thy mouth like the best wine, That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.+

The Bride

10I am my beloved’s; And his desire is toward me.+ 11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.+ 12Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, [And] its blossom is open, [And] the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.+ 13The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.+
